• Book Trust and community members identify funding sources in a start-up area, and we identify a volunteer within each school to be the training and BT 'go to' person.
• After a brief training (about 45 minutes), teachers are ready to start up their classrooms! They create an online Book Trust acount where they create a class list of participating students (they use this to report their order amounts to us every month), and are ready to go.
• Teachers distribute book Scholastic book club catalogs to the entire class.
• Each eligible child has up to $7 to spend each month. At home, children select the books they want and return their orders to school.
• Teachers compile their classroom’s orders, login to their online Book Trust account to report them, and Book Trust sends payment to Scholastic at the beginning of every month.
• Soon after, books are delivered to classrooms!
• For every dollar their students spend, each teacher accrues Scholastic bonus points redeemed to bring additional books and resources into their classrooms.
• Book Trust home office manages training, accounting, oversight, and assessment. Through our partnership with Scholastic, we're able to leverage donor dollars even further and bring the program to more children.

As many will remember, catalogs featuring dozens of books each are sent home monthly with students. Scholastic, Inc., the sole publisher of the nearly 40 catalogs, has over 60 years experience running book clubs within the schools.

Using Scholastic as our distributor, we’re able to streamline all program infrastructure, administration, and educator training.
