Aloha mai kākou,
#808Reads is a statewide reading initiative with a mission of spreading reading throughout our culture, not just at school. Students log reading minutes and earn rewards and recognition while developing healthy reading habits. Teachers can easily see what and how much students have been reading at home, to help keep them motivated and provide insights. The system is based on milestone badging for reading and some literacy activities including listening, speaking, viewing, researching, and writing.
To join the voyage, students, teachers, and families read and log minutes on 808Reads. The first badge is earned after only 30 minutes, then readers earn a badge for every 30 minutes of reading logged up to 5 hours. After logging 300 minutes, readers earn a new badge every 60 minutes.
All you need to do is choose something to read and log your reading in Beanstack. You will automatically start earning rewards.

This year our reading journey follows along with Hōkūleʻa and Hikianaliʻa on the Moananuiākea voyage beginning in Alaska and continuing down the west coast of the North American continent. All students and teachers are automatically registered and can begin earning these badges on August 1.
