Scholastic Careers - Scholastic CareersHistory:
Scholastic has a long history of publishing children’s materials for use in the classroom and to support education. Their original material consisted of magazines and book clubs geared for students of all ages. They have continued on this model of offering books for teachers, librarians, and children the world over through book fairs, classroom flyers, and stores.They have continued and built upon this model with the introduction of graphic novels to their lineup. Their first one was a fantastic addition with the Bone series of books that had been previously self-published. They also have acquired popular titles such as Amulet, Copper, and The Baby-Sitters Club.
Scholastic continues to bring graphic novels to kids of all ages and is finding new items for their lineup all the time. Any graphic novel they grab is sure to gain a ton of exposure and publicity due to the fact that they have ads in so many schools across America, making it easy for kids to pick them up.
