READ TO BEAD
As young readers keep track of their pages on Beanstack, they will be eligible to pick up beads to make neckwear. When they first sign up for Beanstack summer reading online, they qualify to stop by and pick up the chain and a Tails and Tales brag tag to start their creation.
Kids read (and/or have a caregiver read to them) and record their pages. They apply the numbers of pages into beads of varying colors, shapes, and designs to decorate and personalize their very own neckwear. For example (two picture books) about 50 pages = 5 colored beads or one special sports- or animal-shaped bead.
