If you are unable to attend the Book Fair, books can be purchased in the following ways:

You can browse books online with your child at bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/parents.

To make a purchase send the money or the discounted Gift Vouchers purchased online into the school office in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name, class and title(s) of book(s).

Your child can select their own book(s) during the school day. Please provide the money in an envelope clearly marked with their name and class and give it to your child or the school office.

Every child will also receive a World Book Day £1 Book Token which can be used at the Book

Fair.

A mini catalogue will be sent home. Please check your child’s school bag.

We will also be joining the nationwide event to enjoy the pleasures of reading and SHARE A STORY on World Book Day, giving out stickers to all the children who participate. Spending just 10 minutes a day reading and sharing stories with children can make a crucial difference to their outcome and its fun for all involved. You can read together anywhere and everywhere, from breakfast to bedtime! Please join-in!

To find out more about World Book Day log-on to www.worldbookday.com. To keep up-to-date with our Book Fair news log-on to our library blog: ilovereadingatstjosephs.blogspot.com.

Don’t forget that every book you buy can help towards FREE BOOKS for our school library! The last Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success for St Joseph’s making nearly £2000 in FREE BOOKS for our Library. We hope it can be even bigger and better this time.

Thank you for your continued support and happy WORLD BOOK DAY!
