BEANSTACK

Your child is encouraged to participate in our Beanstack reading challenges to improve reading skills.  There will be a new challenge every month with a drawing for prizes.  They have been shown how to log their reading minutes.  Students can log into their Clever or CTLS accounts at home to find Beanstack to log their minutes.  They can scan the barcode on the back of any book or type in the titles and authors by hand.   Some of the younger students may need help keeping track of the amount of time they read. 

It is also very convenient to use the Beanstack app which you can download to your smart phone from Google Play.  It is called Beanstack Tracker.  Here is a screenshot of what it looks like:
