Building confident readers through regular reading practice

Sparx Reader makes reading visible, empowering schools to build a culture of regular independent reading.

Making reading visible to teachers

Visibility of reading

Teachers can see in real time how much every student is reading, empowering you to hold students accountable for their reading.

Powerful insights

Powerful insights about each student's reading enable you to have impactful conversations with students about their books.

The Sparx Reading Test allows you to measure students' progress through the year.

Time-saving automations

Automatic weekly homework saves teachers time and helps students build consistent habits.

Training and CPD

As well as training and ongoing support to maximise your impact, we include Reading Matters: 10 short CPD videos on reading pedagogy plus materials for running school CPD sessions.

Supporting all students to read for pleasure

Personalised

Students are offered fantastic books at their level from a wide range of texts.

Homework tasks are also personalised, so all students can experience regular success in reading.

Engaging

As they read, students answer regular questions, helping them to stay engaged in the story.

Readers earn Sparx Reader Points (SRP) and can compete with others to climb the league table.

Our library, plus yours

Sparx Reader gives all students access to a rich range of books at home, with quizzes throughout to support engaged reading.

Gold Readers can add any book and earn points by keeping reading logs.

Reading with understanding

Students complete regular quizzes as they read, encouraging them to read actively and carefully.

Our ebooks include contextual definitions for every word, helping readers understand the text and build their vocabulary.

Accessible

Sparx Reader works on any device, so students can access books from anywhere. Students can access dyslexia-friendly fonts, colour overlays, and reading rulers.

What our schools say

/_astro/brakenhale.BdaEghhZ.png

Sparx Reader is an engaging and supportive platform in which pupils can develop their reading and literacy skills… with the options to change text and background colours, enlarge the text and check the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary. By developing these skills, we can ensure our pupils develop the necessary life skills to function and be successful adults.
