NEW YORK, N.Y.—June 10, 2014—Scholastic (NASDAQ: SCHL), the global children’s publishing, education and media company, has been recognized with 26 REVERE and Beacon Awards for its classroom magazines, educational programs and professional development resources from the Association of American Publishers (AAP). AAP's annual awards recognize the year’s gold-standard learning resources and are acknowledged by educators, administrators and parents nationwide as a seal of excellence in the education industry.

Scholastic received a Golden Lamp Award, the educational resource industry's top honor, for iRead™, a digital program for grades K–2 that ensures mastery of foundational reading skills for students of all backgrounds and reading levels. In addition, Scholastic won the Innovation Award for MATH 180™, the groundbreaking blended learning solution that accelerates students to algebra, as well as three Beacon Awards and 21 Distinguish Achievement Awards in categories ranging from Whole Publication Design to Supplemental Resources—19 of these going to Scholastic’s classroom magazines.

“For over 93 years, all of us at Scholastic have made it our mission to create deeply engaging educational materials and programs that support learning for both educators and students,” said Hugh Roome, President, Scholastic Consumer and Professional Publishing. “We are thrilled to be recognized by AAP for our rich content, innovative and effective use of technology, and creative design and marketing, especially at a time when students and educators need truly original digital and print resources to meet new, higher educational standards.
