Joyful Reading Company

Joyful Reading Company is a digital reading engagement platform for public libraries, K-12 schools, and school districts, formed through the merger of Beanstack and Comics Plus. It unites the world's leading reading motivation platform with a vast catalog of digital comics and graphic novels, enabling institutions to run reading challenges (e.g., summer reading, school-wide literacy initiatives), track books and minutes read, and motivate students through gamification features such as badges, incentives, and progress dashboards. The platform aligns with evidence-based literacy research emphasizing reading volume, intrinsic motivation, and positive reinforcement.
