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:
- "We will be using the rebate to purchase some student-requested items for the media center."
- "I used the Amazon gift card to buy prizes for one of our top BEANSTACK 4th grade classroom."
- "We will use this gift card to buy prizes and incentives for our many readers. Thank you!"
- "I was able to purchase reading incentives for our students to keep them excited about reading!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 "
- "Thank you for the Amazon gift card, it will be used for blowpops to “Keep Blowing Up” our reading goals."
Hats Off to All Our Successful Schools!
