Dear Fellow Shareholders: Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, we set high goals for LeapFrog in 2009…to build our brand equity, grow our share in the Electronic Learning Toys category, dramatically reduce retail inventory levels, achieve break-even earnings, and improve our products to drive earnings in 2010. Against the goals and environment described above, our results in 2009 were excellent. We achieved four percent growth in retail point-of-sale (sales by retailers to consumers) dollars compared to a one percent decline for the toy industry.1 Our share of the Electronic Learning Toys category was up four points to 44 percent.2 Retail inventories ended the year in healthy shape across the board and were 29 percent lower than the prior year. We achieved near-breakeven net income with a net loss of just $2.7 million, an improvement of $66 million year-over-year, and very importantly our non-GAAP net income before stock-based compensation rose to $8 million, up from a non-GAAP net loss before stock-based compensation of $57 million in 2008.3 This great performance was due to strong execution at retail, dramatically reduced expenses, and benefi ts from the Learning Path. Importantly, we want to also applaud an outstanding performance contributed by the LeapFrog employee team. Strong Execution at Retail In 2009, we increased consumer sales by off ering a strong product portfolio with a broader assortment of prices (and lower prices where necessary), increasing our overall retail shelf space, and implementing new forecasting systems and processes to better align channel inventory with retail point-of-sale. We maintained a strong presence at our largest retailers, while increasing our focus on sales through online retailers, department stores, and electronics stores. The result was that we grew retail point-of-sale, expanded and gained share in the Electronic Learning Toys category, and signifi cantly improved our brand metrics. Dramatically Reduced Expenses We reinvented our cost structure in 2009 by improving operational systems and processes, focusing on fewer but more strategic projects, making further reductions in general and administrative costs, and reducing marketing expenses due to the marketing benefi ts of our LeapFrog® Learning Path system. As a result, gross margin improved by two points, operating expenses declined more than 30 percent, and we strengthened our fi nancial position. Benefi ts from the LeapFrog® Learning Path In 2009, we began to leverage our Learning Path system and deliver personalized product suggestions to our connected customers. We now have three million connected customers in our Learning Path system, up from one million a year ago. During 2009, we delivered 300 million personalized marketing impressions to our customers, which contributed to our strong point-of-sale performance and benefi tted both retailers and LeapFrog. While direct sales through leapfrog.com increased 18 percent in 2009, the Learning Path also drove traffi c to retail stores with nearly 200,000 retail transactions tracked to the Learning Path. The Learning Path also helped LeapFrog build brand awareness and improve brand perception. More than 50 percent of people we surveyed said that the Learning Path increased their perception of LeapFrog. Based on our survey data, more than half of Tag™ Reading System owners bought a LeapFrog product based on a recommendation from the Learning Path or from a LeapFrog email, and the majority of those purchases were made at retail. 1 Please see Retail Point-of-Sale Dollars below for an explanation of this operating metric. Estimates for the overall toy industry are based on information provided by The NPD Group, Inc. 2 Based on data provided by The NPD Group, Inc. 3 Non-GAAP net income before stock-based compensation is a non-GAAP fi nancial measure. Please see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below and the attached reconciliation schedule for more information about these measures. LeapFrog Annual Report 2009 2010 and Beyond We enter 2010 poised for growth—our product portfolio is excellent, we will launch important innovations in our platforms and content, the Learning Path connected strategy is already showing results, our cost structure is dramatically improved, and retail inventories are lean. We believe that we are at the turning point for strong sales growth and profi tability in 2010. Interactive Reading—New forms of content will be released for Tag™ and Tag™ Junior. Content will expand beyond traditional books to include maps of the world and the United States. New types of books will be introduced, including game and puzzle books. We also expect to off er online books, available through LeapWorld and as downloadable content. Both Tag and Tag Junior are being redesigned to make them easier to use and will off er a new enhanced-appeal look, including some versions that will resemble popular characters. Mobile Learning—We will launch a powerful new mobile learning system that will transform our “Educational Gaming” business into a business that allows kids to play and learn with the fi rst handheld mobile computer for kids … called Leapster Explorer™. With its Linux-based operating system, it will be about fi ve times more powerful than the current Leapster2. It will also have a touch screen, off er video, and serve both as a game system and a children’s e-Book platform. With this more powerful mobile learning product, we will off er much richer content including Globe: Earth Adventures which will allow children to explore the world and learn about places, cultures, and topics far beyond the ABCs and 1-2-3’s of traditional learning products. Leapster Explorer will be fully integrated with our innovative, online LeapWorld™ playground and serve as a marketplace where children can acquire new features and applications with points earned during offl ine and online play. We believe this transformation of our business from educational gaming into mobile learning … individual learning across a vast array of subjects, available anytime, anywhere … will grow our business from its traditional boundaries just as mobile computing for “grown-ups” has transformed the computer industry. Learning Toys—Building on the success of My Pal Scout, we will introduce our second connected learning toy, My Own Leaptop™, which will be a play computer that can be personalized with a child’s name and receive “emails” from family and friends. New role-play toys will be introduced, such as Fix & Learn Speedy, LeapFrog’s fi rst ever car role-play product. Popular toy lines such as Learn & Groove® and Fridge Phonics® have also been updated. New toys appropriate for drug store chains will be introduced and serve to extend the LeapFrog® brand into new channels. LeapWorld—We will roll out LeapWorld beyond Leapster2 to Tag and Leapster Explorer. LeapWorld is a safe, online learning world for kids age four to nine. In LeapWorld, kids play and learn with online games that reinforce core literacy and math skills as well as introduce new subjects like science, language skills, and social studies. LeapWorld is diff erent from other online play experiences in that it is tightly integrated with LeapFrog’s family of products. LeapFrog Learning Path—We expect the number of connected customers to expand from three million today to between six and seven million in a year. Retail Distribution—In 2010, we will expand our sales distribution with current and new retail partners, including bookstores. Online distribution of our products will also continue to increase, both on leapfrog.com and on our many retail partners’ websites. As we look ahead, we are enthused about our many opportunities in 2010 and beyond. There are many new and exciting products in development for 2011 and 2012; we have an innovative and strong product pipeline that will dramatically enhance the way children learn and play. Today our products off er a personalized learning journey; tomorrow they will off er a personal learning adventure. Learning is going to expand beyond the ABCs and 1-2-3’s to include a vast array of subjects such as science, geo-literacy, languages, and social studies. Platforms will transform from educational gaming to mobile learning, where learning can happen anywhere, anytime.

  • 2018/2019 Annual Report
    2018/2019 ANNUAL REPORT The central idea of Scholastic is to help every child develop the personal power to engage with issues, to understand themselves and become the best and most able person they can be, equipped with the thinking skills and the emotional resilience to navigate the mid-21st century world they will inherit. —Richard Robinson Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 557 Broadway, New York, NY 10012 • 212 343 6100 • scholastic.com Fellow Shareholders, As I write this, Scholastic author Dav Pilkey is embarking on a global “Do Good” tour encouraging young readers to make an impact in their communities, demonstrating the power of reading to inspire positive change. The tour reminds us that reading can inspire both action and reflection, which is central to our Scholastic mission–helping kids read so they can develop the thinking skills to understand how the world works and the inspiration to understand themselves and their place in that world. The stakes are certainly high. At best, only 30% of U.S. children read at grade level. As millions of students and teachers prepare to return to school this month, Scholastic will be there for them as we have been for generations, providing the support, educational materials and high-quality children’s books needed to help prepare students for success, now and in the future. As we remain dedicated to this mission, we are also taking actions that enable us to continue serving educators, families, and children for our next 100 years. In FY20, this includes improving operating profitability while preparing for longer term growth.

  • Making Sense of Gender from Digital Game Play in Three-Year-Old Children’S Everyday Lives: an Ethnographic Case Study
    JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE RESEARCH IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY Copyright © The Author(s), 2015 Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2015 ISSN 2068 – 0317 http://compaso.eu Making sense of gender from digital game play in three-year-old children’s everyday lives: An ethnographic case study Youn Jung Huh1 Abstract This study explores very young children performing and talking about game characters in their everyday life. In this study, young children’s digital game play is considered as a hybrid and complex site for the children to meet popular culture and their everyday family experiences. This article represents a case study of six three-year-old children and their families, which combines ethnographic methods (spending time with the families, being a participant observer) and critical perspectives analysis with Bakhtinian perspectives to construct analyses that have the potential to understand how young children make sense of their everyday roles as a boy or a girl through their game play. This study shows that young children do not directly receive ideological messages from the game media, but they make sense of the messages by decoding and interpreting the game media based on their own theories of everyday life. Keywords Gender performance, digital game, young children, everyday practice, ethnographic case study Introduction This article is a part of my dissertation that focuses on six three-year-old children playing digital games on a daily basis and their families. In this paper, I explore how very young children perform and talk about game characters in their everyday lives and how it is 1 Ph.D, Salem State University, Salem, United States of America, [email protected] 155 Journal of Comparative Research in Anthropology and Sociology, Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2015 related to their gender identities.

Toronto, Ontario Date Approved: December 20, 2017 ii Abstract Scholastic Canada has been running Reading Club in Canadian schools for half a century. Until 1998, teachers were only able to place student orders by mail or over the phone. Then, the first Canadian Reading Club website was created with a web form for teachers to submit orders online. The online form marked the start of a major change that has been brewing for Reading Club over the last two decades, but it wouldn’t be until 2016 that this simple form would be replaced by a fully- functioning e-commerce website. As Scholastic Canada moves Reading Club online, the company must maintain its valued relationship with teachers and protect its unique place in Canadian classrooms, while at the same time seeking out opportunities to grow in its new digital context.
