Your child today will bring home a scholastic flyer with a big selection of quality, affordable books for your child to help you build a library of English books at home.
You don’t have to buy books, but it’s a great opportunity to talk with your child about his/her interests and to encourage him/her to read books!
By placing an order
You are showing your child that reading is important.
You are helping your child to build their English vocabulary so they can become better readers and writers.
You are helping to build our school library! Every dollar you spend earns our school bonus points to use towards new books for the library!
If you have a question or if you want a book recommendation, please feel free to ask your classroom teacher.
You can conveniently order online from home!
You can pay online by credit card and don’t have to worry about sending cash to school.
You can order online at any time and have an even bigger selection of books to choose from! (Please note that online orders are paid by credit card in USD).

The message from the teacher:
Hi everyone!
This week we have had several online English Level Check-ups. I’m very happy and excited
. Everyone managed to enter our meeting successfully. We got acquainted, checked our online opportunities, talked, laughed - we had fun. We talked about families, holidays, jobs, interests, the Chinese wedding traditions… It seemed we had never ending topics to discuss 
. And instead of 30 minutes the meeting took 1 hour. And this hour passed so quickly. Everyone started with: ‘Oh 
, my level is so low, I can’t speak, I don't know’. But then you were speaking, listening, reading… You yourself 
. And you can do more than you think you can. You just need somebody who can guide you and believes in you. And I’m here to support you.
Yes, an online meeting is different from a live one. But we have proved that we can exchange our energy and enjoy an online meeting. Moreover, an online meeting has the advantage of seeing each other without masks
. I’ve realised how we all miss and need smiles from each other.
The English Level Check-up is not an exam. Please, don’t be afraid or shy. Just try it!
