Winter Reading Fun is for all ages  

Registration begins Friday, December 20. 

Log in to your Beanstack account or create an account.

How It Works

Log your reading and earn points.
1 minute of reading = 1 point.

If logging for a preschooler, you may want to log books.
1 book read = 20 points.

This challenge is complete when you earn 400 points.

New Trading Cards!

Children ages 0–5th grade will earn Winter Reading Fun trading cards!

They will get their first card when they register, and earn a new card for every 50 points earned, for a total of 9 trading cards.

As a bonus, children will receive a 9-pocket trading card protector to store their card collection as a registration prize.

Winter Reading Fun Trading Card
