Scholastic’s global literacy campaign and free book offer*
to appear on more than 10 million Kellogg products sold at Walmart stores this fall

New York, NY (August 11, 2011)--Six-time NBA All-Star and New York Knicks captain Amar’e Stoudemire has signed with Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education and media company, which has acquired world rights to STAT: Standing Tall and Talented, a chapter book series for middle-grade readers launching in August 2012. Stoudemire is committed to turning kids, especially boys, into readers.

At Scholastic, we recognize that teachers, parents and students have extremely high expectations for all materials we distribute in schools. We take that responsibility seriously, not only for the hundreds of millions of pages we produce through our Education division and Classroom Magazines, but also for the far smaller number of sponsored supplemental materials produced with partners through our InSchool business.
