Scholastic Book Orders: If you are interested in ordering Scholastic books online, visit http://clubs.scholastic.com/cool/login.jsp. Click on the purple link that says "Place Your Child's Order." If you have not done so already, you will need to set up an account. Our class code is GXLHV. The books will get shipped to the school, but this option allows a wider selection of books to choose from and gives you the opportunity to order using a debit/credit card. Please email me if you have any questions or problems! jjunge@libctrlsd.org.

The site then gives you multiple options for practicing the words.
