of reading
Scholastic has been helping Australian families discover
a lifelong love of reading for over 50 years.
2 A Market Leader In Children’s Publishing As Australia’s market leader of children’s publishing, and a recognisable household name in children’s literature, Scholastic has been helping Australian families discover a lifelong love of reading for over 50 years. You can find Scholastic titles in bookshops and major retailers throughout the nation. You may even have a Scholastic book on your bookshelf without realising, from Australian classic stories like Possum Magic to new favourites like Pig the Pug and global bestsellers like The Hunger Games and Captain Underpants. At Scholastic, we want to encourage a love of reading in every child that we hope will stay with them forever.

The Importance of
10 Minutes a Day
Did you know that just 10 minutes
of reading a day will change your
child’s life? ADDING 1O MINUTES OF
While that may seem like a big statement to make, numerous
studies have consistently shown that 10 minutes exposure to

reading materials each day is all it takes to positively shape your
child’s future.
MATTERS
And this doesn’t just include complicated educational texts—
any reading materials, be it comic books, novels, picture books,
recipes, the television guide or the back of food packets, all
count towards your child’s daily reading goal.
Reading any of these materials for 10 minutes a

reach their reading goal? We’ve put together a
few reading tips to help:
• Look through Book Club catalogues with your
child and talk about the books you would like to read
together. Discuss what you think the books might be about.
• Be a reading role model and let your child see you reading—
for enjoyment, for news and for information in cookbooks,
magazines, online etc. This way they see that reading is
important for many reasons.
• Assign a place in your home for your family’s books to show
your child that books are special and deserve an organised
storage space. Fill your home with lots of reading materials.
• If space allows, create a special area for your child to dedicate
to reading. Make sure your child puts aside phones, tablets and
any other devices that may form a distraction.
• Tie books and TV/movies together. For example, read about
sea life after watching a nature documentary on the ocean. Or,
connect books and experiences together. For example, after a 10

child’s interest in the wonderful
world of books, and helps to further
develop their reading confidence.
Reading success is not exclusively for children
who are already dedicated bookworms. With
some guidance, it is achievable for any child, no
matter their interests or abilities.
Your child may not be currently interested in
chapter books and novels, but perhaps they’re a
budding scientist with a keen interest in robotics?
Maybe they love to paint and draw and create
fun craft projects in their spare time? Maybe they
have a flair for the dramatic and
love engaging in some role-playing
games, or going on spy missions with
their friends?
Using your child’s interests is a
fantastic way to boost their reading
skills without forcing them to read
something that doesn’t interest
them, and that could potentially
turn them off reading for pleasure in
the future. This is why in each issue
of Book Club you will find a range
of activity-based items for all ages
and interests that cover the four key
activity-based reading pathways:
Communication, Investigation, Real-
world/STEM and Creative Arts.
