Beanstack Reading Tracker

Beanstack is the way that we track our community's reading, roll out reading themes and challenges, and motivate our students. This is the way that we track minutes or pages read for our summer reading and for our Hooked on Books reading.

Photos and brief instructions follow, and links to video support are pasted within the article and posted below. Please email our library team, Jolene Gutiérrez (jgutierrez@denveracademy.org) or Caroline Gorman (cgorman@denveracademy.org) with any questions!

See the "How to use Beanstack" flyer created by Ms. Gorman below for step-by-step instructions.

Here's an intro video that will guide you through using Beanstack. Before signing in to Beanstack, have your child sign in to their Denver Academy gmail because Beanstack pulls from that. Then, go to denveracademy.beanstack.org and sign in using the blue Google button. For signing in to students' DA gmail, the format is last name+first 2 letters of first name @denveracademy.org (for example, Sally Mustang’s email would be mustangsa@denveracademy.org). Their original password is the first part of the email+123 (mustangsa123), but students are prompted to change their password, so check with your child and ask them what their new password is. Here's a step-by-step video for logging in to gmail.

Would you prefer to use an app for Beanstack on your phone or tablet? Go here to see a video with more information, as login information is slightly different.
