Why Sparx Reader?
Sparx reader is an easy to use, intuitive programme that is accessible for all Rawlins KS3 and KS4 students. Students can access it anytime, anywhere and read books from the digital library. At first, the system will pre-select lists of books that students can choose from based on an initial reading test, but if students continue to read and improve, they can access any book they choose by becoming a 'Gold Reader'. The system uses an algorithim to ensure that the books it chooses for users are in line with their reading age whislt being challenging enough to help them to improve. It also tests their comprehension and uses this information to report back on how easy or difficult students are finding the text.Â
Parents can access the system through their child's login details and see how many words they have read, how long they have been reading for and what rewards they have gained. There will be Amazon Voucher rewards each term for pupils who have the most Sparx points!
