Scholastic Book Fair App

Shopping the Book Fair has gone high tech thanks to the new Scholastic Book Fairs App. By simply scanning the cover or barcode of a book in the fair, you can find out tons of information such as:


  • Recommended Age, Grade, and Reading Level of the Book
  • Price
  • Summary
  • Videos and podcasts
  • Lexile Level

You can even make purchases through the app!


And teachers - you can use the app while creating your Wish List at the Teacher Preview. All teachers who do so will be entered into a drawing for a basket full of goodies. So BYOD at the Teacher Preview!

To download the app, search Book Fairs in the App Store or on Goggle Play.
