Sparx Reader is designed to support students to build strong reading habits that help them to learn to read with care, precision and insights. We believe that this particular aim is best achieved when pupils read texts by themselves without pictures.
Our aim in Sparx Reader is for all students to engage with meaningful, independent reading each week. Students will have access to e-books chosen for their level and teachers will gain visibility over exactly what books students are engaging with each week.

Sparx Reading Tests provide a starting point if you plan on measuring reading age progress throughout the year, and ensure that the first books a student is offered are as close as possible to their reading level.
Sparx Reader contains books for students aged 11-16 with reading ages from 6 to 17+. We carefully manage access to books with mature themes through minimum age requirements and provide clear information about the content to help teachers make informed decisions.
