AMERICA'S LARGEST SOFTWARE CLUB ANNOUNCES ADDED PRIZES, AND BROADER
SELECTION OF PRODUCTS FOR 1992-1993

August 21, 1992 -- NY -- Scholastic Software today announced details of its
1992-1993 Software Club, which includes a broader selection of Macintosh,
Apple II, and MS-DOS titles, and now features two sweepstakes giveaways
for teachers.

The Scholastic Software Club gives teachers an easy way to recommend
high-quality software for their children to use at home, and provides
parents with an attractive alternative to traditional computer and
software stores. Five times during the school year, the Software Club
distributes order kits to teachers in more than 100,000 elementary and
middle school classrooms. Each kit contains a set of brochures for the
students to review with their parents. The students make their selections
and bring in money from home, and the teacher fills out a single order
form for the entire class. For each order, teachers earn bonus points that
can be redeemed for additional software, bonus merchandise, or for
professional and educational materials from Scholastic Book Club Teacher's
Bonus Catalog.

"The popularity of the Software Club has exceeded all of our expectations,
in large part because the club makes it easy for teachers to recommend
software to parents and students," said Peter Kelman, vice president and
publisher of Scholastic Software. "Now we're working to give teachers and
students even more choices of great software--with the added benefits of
free software for schools, and exciting prizes for our teacher-customers.
"

In the 1992-1993 year, teachers who submit orders to the Software Club will
be automatically entered in a drawing for a Pioneer videodisc player.
Teachers who place an order for more than $100 will be automatically
entered in a drawing for an "Education Vacation" which includes airfare,
hotel, and conference admission to any one of three popular computing
conferences: National Education Computing Conference (NECC), Florida
Education Technology Conference (FETC), or Computer Using Educators
(CUE).

Now in its third year, the Scholastic Software Club has earned widespread
acceptance in more than 14,000 schools across the country. "You offer
software that is so enjoyable that children don't realize they are
learning," said Kitty Keefer, program director, East Side Christian
School, Fullerton, CA. "I t is wonderful to see parents take an interest
in following up on what their children learn in the classroom by
purchasing identical software titles for in-home use."

The Software Club draws its monthly selection of products from a library of
more than 125 Scholastic Software titles, as well as a broad range of
products from other well known publishers, including Oregon Trail from
MECC, The Children's Writing and Publishing Center from The Learning
Company, and Read 'N Roll from Davidson.

Software Club by calling (800) 541-5513, or writing to: Scholastic
