What is Sparx Reader?
Sparx reader is an online reading platform that students access as part of our self study programme. Sparx reader allows students of all reading abilities, to practice careful, silent reading, without distraction.
Students must collect 300 SRP’s (Sparx reader points) to complete their homework. students can choose from an appropriate range of ebooks at their reading level and as they read, they’ll answer questions to check they’re reading carefully. Careful readers earn points, meaning they can prove they’ve been focusing and ultimately climb the league table!
Motivated readers who demonstrate consistent, careful reading can unlock Gold Reader. This means they can read any paper book from the library or from home by scanning in its barcode.
Important Information
1. How do they log in?
Students log in at sparxreader.com. The log in for Sparx reader is the same as using their Sparx Maths details.
2. Which devices are supported?
Your child can access Sparx Reader on any device that connects to the internet with a web browser.
3. How can I support my child with their reading?
Sparx Reader adapts to each student’s reading level, so it’s important that you don’t help by answering questions for them. If you help them, Sparx Reader might think they’re a very strong reader and show them books that are too difficult.
You can help by providing a quiet space and a set amount of time for your child to focus on their reading homework each week.
The best way to support your child is to ask them about the book they’re reading; which aspects they’re enjoying, which characters and events they’ve recently read about or what they think could happen next.
4. How can I monitor the reading my child is doing?
You are able to keep track of your child’s reading by clicking through the link to the Parent Portal in your Sparx Maths weekly homework email.
On the Parent Portal, you can choose to view homework progress for any Sparx Learning system your child is using. For Sparx Reader, you can see progress with the current and previous homework, and browse books that your child has been reading as part of their current homework.
When your child finishes their book, we will send you an email celebrating their achievement!
