            Scholastic is a website that is a distributor of children's books, connecting educators and families online. This sites provides a literacy curriculum, professional services, and classroom magazines. Scholastic provides children books, support teachers and students in their literacy instructions, and international services around the world. Scholastics makes sure that they work continually to ensure that their operations are beneficial to all stakeholders-teachers, parents, schools, employees, local communities, and customers. In Scholastic, they mainly focus on helping educators and parents with teaching kids and students. For educators, this websites have book clubs, teaching tools, teacher store, classroom magazines,  and Scholastic Teachables and Education . As for parents, this websites provides book clubs, parent store, book fairs, egift cards, Scholastic parents, and klutz.  An important question I attained in scholastic.com is asking their authors and illustrators "What's a reason you love to read?" and the answers goes "We all have reasons to love reading". This is true since everyone has their reasons for their love of reading. I have my own reasons for love of reading and I know that my reasons are different from other readers.

            This website is an effective literacy websites because it can help our students to increase their literacy skills. With so many books on this websites, students and children can go online and read the books. As for teachers and parents, they can go online to download the lessons from this site and use it to help students with their literacy skills or their literacy classes. There are activities that are printable in this website that will make a parent or a teachers job more easier in helping students and children. The list of books in this websites can be read by students or children from the age of one to 13 years old.
