Want to motivate students and boost reading participation?

 

In this 2-minute tutorial, Tammy from Beanstack shows you how to add rewards and recognition to your reading challenges—without breaking the bank.

 

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Add rewards to challenge descriptions and badges

✅ Track which students have earned or redeemed rewards

✅ Filter, manage, and print rewards reports for classes or volunteers

✅ Use recognition to double participation and keep students engaged

 

Why use rewards in reading challenges? Recognition—whether a shout-out, school swag, or special event—can dramatically increase student engagement. Rewards give students tangible goals, celebrate their accomplishments, and make reading challenges more exciting for everyone.
