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:
- "Thank you for the amazing gift card for the Ignitor Badge recognition! It was just the thing to get the kiddo excited to keep going! We are already on our way to 75% participation! I am super excited to keep our students reading with great incentives! "
- "Thank you so much for supporting my school and promoting reading on my campus! My students are going to love their pizza party. Thank you for making that possible!"
- "We were able to purchase some creative materials to reward the hard work of our readers! "
- "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!
