Don Giacomini, Senior Account Executive at Beanstack, details the company’s unique approach to ensuring students are engaged in reading. Kids are drawn to instant rewards, and whether it’s a “like” on social media or leveling up in a video game, each small win delivers a dopamine boost. Beanstack brings that same excitement to reading. With Beanstack, kids earn digital badges, track reading streaks, and unlock achievements simply by logging their reading. Watching their progress build keeps them motivated and engaged. From hitting a five-day streak to reaching a 100-book milestone, every accomplishment counts. Plus, classmates and siblings can create friendly challenges to see who can maintain the longest streak or read the most pages.
Instead of a quiz-based approach, Beanstack uses modern gamification principles to motivate students to read. See them at Booth #2824 or go to beanstack.com
