How it Works

1. Create an Account
  • You begin by creating a free Beanstack account. This can be done through their website or mobile app, available for iOS and Android.
  • You can set up an individual account or create an account for a child if you’re managing reading goals for them.
2. Track Your Reading
  • After creating an account, you can start adding books you’ve read. This can be done by searching for the book title or scanning the book barcode.
  • Beanstack allows you to log your reading progress by entering the number of pages read or the time spent reading.
  • For children or others who may not log their own reading, parents or teachers can enter data on their behalf.
3. Participate in Reading Challenges
  • Beanstack often features reading challenges like “Summer Reading Program” or “Rogue Reads.” These challenges motivate readers to read more by providing incentives, such as badges or rewards for completing the challenge.
4. Earn Badges and Rewards
  • As you meet reading milestones, you earn digital badges as rewards (seen right). These can help you stay motivated and visualize your reading achievements.
