The Reading Culture Igniter status is the first milestone in the 2024-2025 Reading Culture Awards! This honor is granted to schools with 25% of their students logging reading through Beanstack each school year. Attaining Igniter status is just the beginning; we're dedicated to supporting goal-setting strategies, fostering motivation through friendly competition, and providing incentives to schools as they meet participation milestones throughout the academic year. The ultimate goal: reaching 75% student engagement and the coveted Reading Culture Trailblazer Award.
Reaching Igniter Status
These schools have successfully lit a flame in their community, and their students are getting on board! To celebrate this milestone, they were awarded a digital badge, certificate, and a $25 gift card that schools can use to celebrate their reading culture. To get students excited about reading, we suggest buying small prizes to add to challenges, purchasing a book for your library's collection, or throwing a donut hole party for your winning classroom.
Here are some ways Igniters are spending their $25 gift cards:
- "I will be able to purchase supplies for students to make buttons to wear proudly. They will be the "badges" that they earn so others will see and ask about them. Hopefully, other students will be inspired to read more and earn badges as well so our Beanstack minutes can grow!"
- "I can't wait to shower my students with prizes they earn from READING!!!"
- "I will use the gift card for Dunkin Donuts to purchase a donut party for my top readers in the month of September!"
- "I'll be using the funds for reading incentives and Super Hero decorations for our themed Literacy night--Super Heroes Read Too! Gracias!"
- "We will use our gift card to purchase Spanish books for our kids!"
Hats Off to All Our Successful Schools!
