Rams Read Summer Reading Bingo Challenge

To promote a love for reading and to foster valuable reading skills, Couch Middle School encourages all its students to read for at least 600 minutes this summer. Students are free to read whatever they choose (fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, or magazines). Our goal is simply to keep students reading! When students log into their Couch Middle School Beanstack account, they will see our Rams Read Summer Reading Bingo Challenge. All students who successfully complete the challenge will be invited to our CMS Reading Celebration in August, earn a free prize, and qualify to be automatically included in a prize drawing for an Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet! 

Students will use Beanstack to log their minutes. All GCPS students have an active Beanstack account, and students have received training on using Beanstack in their language arts class. Students will use their student number and four-digit birthday (MMDD) to log in.

Each school has its own Beanstack account, so students will need to log in to the website for the school they attended during the 2023-24 school year. Students can view a Beanstack tutorial video in English and a tutorial video in Spanish.

Rising seventh and eighth graders should use the Couch Beanstack website:

Rising sixth graders who attended Pharr should use the Pharr Beanstack website:

Rising sixth graders who attended Starling should use the Starling Beanstack website:

Rising sixth graders will be switched to Couch's account at the end of July. All of their reading log information will be transferred to their Couch account.

New students: Students who did not attend Couch, Starling, or Pharr this past year can participate in the Challenge by signing up for the Gwinnett County Public Library's Summer Reading Challenge.  They will use the public library's Beanstack account to record their minutes. Students should choose Couch Middle School as their school when registering for the program. We strongly encourage students to link their school account to their Gwinnett County Public Library Account.

More information, including instructions on logging reading in Beanstack, can be found in the Rams Read Summer Reading Bingo Challenge Overview Video . We hope you will encourage your child to participate in the Rams Read Summer Reading Bingo Challenge. Thank you for your support of reading!
