SCHOLASTIC CLUB LEO

The best gift any parent can give a child is the love of good books and the joy and benefits of good reading. Children who read at home, or are read to, have a head start on reading success in school.

 

Our class is participating in Scholastic's Spanish Club Leo Book Club this year. Each month during the school year I will send home a Club flyer with a different selection of Spanish books offered. You’ll find award-winning books, as well as old and new favorites. I recommend them because the books span a wide range of children’s reading levels and interests and because they are inexpensive (some books cost less than $1).

 

Look for the first Club Leo catalog coming home soon!
