Rewards Shop
Students spend purple points on Avatars, Sticker Packs, Trading Cards, Bookmarks, Postcards, Coloring Pages and 3D Models. 3D models they unlock are kept under Collectibles. Each class has its own tab for the custom rewards you create, paid in blue points. See What can students spend their points on?.
Stones and gems
- Students earn a stone by rating a book they've finished (on the book's Reflect tab). Books need at least 30 pages, and longer books give more stones (up to 5).
- Clicking Polish turns a stone into a gem: a ruby, emerald, sapphire or diamond.
- Gems unlock some shop items. Students can earn up to 30 stones (so 30 gems) a week.
