Schools: Student Reading Snapshot Overview
Tags: Students, Classes & Readers, Admins
Clicking a student’s name anywhere in Beanstack opens their profile in a drawer on the right side of your screen. Every profile starts with a reading “snapshot”—a brief quick summary and key data points that give you a full picture of how the student is reading.
The buttons along the drawer’s left edge let you expand the profile to full screen, close the drawer, and copy a link that goes directly to the profile.

Accessing the Student Profile
Note: Teachers can only find and view classes and students rostered to them, whereas administrator roles can find and view any class or student within their school.
After logging into the admin view of your site, there are a few places to find and display a student profile:
-
To search for a specific student, navigate to Classes and Readers > Students > View Students.
-
To view students by class, go to Classes and Readers > Classes.
-
Student profiles can also be found throughout your Beanstack site’s reporting and data, including:
-
Classes and Readers > Students > Book Talks and Flagged Sessions
-
Insights Leaderboards
-
