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.
