How do I send a book order flyer home?

Step by step · Updated

A Book Order is the book flyer families know, without the paperwork. You print a flyer for each student, families order from their phones, and the books ship free to your school. Your class earns Book Cash on every book.

Start an order

  1. Open your class and click Book Order in the sidebar.
  2. Click Start a book order.
  3. Pick when orders close (two weeks is a good default) and enter your school's address.
  4. Click Start the order.

Send the flyers home

Click Print flyers. You get two pages for each student. Print them double-sided:

  • The front is The Bookroo Times: six books picked for your grade, each with a headline and its price. Every grade from kindergarten to 8th has its own flyer. It starts on your class's grade, and you can pick another when you start the order.
  • The back is the Classifieds: 28 more books with their prices, and a coupon with that student's QR code and order code.

To see a flyer before you print, click the flyer on your Book Order page, or Preview flyer once your order has started. It shows both sides for any grade, and you can open or download the PDF.

Each flyer is for one student, so their books come back to them. Prefer email or a newsletter? Copy class link gives you one link where families pick their child's name.

What families do

A parent scans the QR code, or goes to bookroo.com/order and types the code. They tap the books they want, then pay. They don't need an account. Any book they find by searching counts too.

Watch the orders come in

The Book Order page shows how many families have ordered, each student's books, and your Book Cash so far. Each student's code is in the table; click it to copy that student's order link. You can change the closing date or address under Details while the order is open.

When orders close

We order the books and ship them to your school, about two weeks after orders close. A bigger order may come in a few boxes that arrive around the same time. When the books ship, click Print sorting sheets for a page per student listing their books, and Print name labels for a sheet of labels (Avery 5160) with one student's name per book, to stick on before you hand them out.

How your class earns Book Cash

  • Your class earns 10% of every order as Book Cash.
  • Once your shipment reaches 60 books, every class in it earns 20%.
  • The Book Cash goes into your class's Book Wallet once every book has shipped.

Team up with another class

Classes at the same school can share one shipment, and all their books count toward 60. Give another teacher the Team-up code on your Book Order page. When they start their order, they choose Join another class's shipment and enter it. Their class gets its own flyers and orders, and your order's closing date and address apply to both.

If your school runs a School Book Order that includes your class, it shows on your Book Order page, and the school's organizer sets the closing date and address.
