For the second Literacy Website Exploration, I will be share my review of the website called Scholastic (https://www.scholastic.com/home/). Scholastic is a literacy website that can be used by educators, parents and students. Originally Scholastic was started as a magazine in 1920. It was started by Maurice Robinson who wanted to be a publisher, and it is continued today by his son Dick Robinson who is the Chairman, President and CEO of Scholastic. Today, Scholastic continues to make student friendly magazines in literacy and science as well as produce curriculum supporting materials that are organized by themes. Unfortunately a lot of the websites resources are only accessible through purchase, there are some free components like games for students. Teachers may also access articles like "5 Ways to Rekindle Your Students' Love for Your Classroom Library," which is currently published on the website.
IRA does promote and sell items and books sold in Scholastic.com. Books are organized by grade level and themes, and the website is user friendly. This website is a good resource when purchasing books to build your classroom library as well as for students and parents to preview books. Many families purchase books from the Scholastic monthly book order forms, and being able to preview and see what books are available helps families selecting books a lot easier.
