Before secondary school, I actually quite enjoyed reading. Now I find reading boring. Sparx reader makes reading a chore and not for pleasure. It gives you four book options that you don't want even though you choose genres. It is labeled as short homework but usually takes and hour and a half. Despite teachers saying online devices distract you from learning, they decide to give you homework for reading on an online device instead of an actual book.

first off i’d like to say whoever made sparx is a tosser and feck sparx as a whole. sparx reader is genuinely the worst thing to grace the internet. it makes u go insane, all the books are awful and 10xp for 4 questions answered is a piss take. it makes me question my life, please sort it out sparx!

Spars sucks, my son used to adore reading but now HATES it

Only good for one thing: torture

I have been stuck on the same question for the past 2 days! I keep moving to the next one. I read through the text, I answer the question as best as I can, 1/4 correct. I eventually get 4/4 correct, right, and then I gat about +1 SRP. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO DO? TURN ME INTO EINSTEIN? It's the same with the other ones. You know what I'm on about. If you don't complete it by the due date, bang. On the list for Detention. It's like, I try to use the reason why. They don't believe me. Just make a button on each question that says 'I do not know' and it would highlight the paragraph the answer is in. We NEED that instead of pure torture. At this point, Sparx, If you're going to respond, at least make that update that I suggested. Thank you.

As a student with dyslexia(possible AuDHD), I find Sparx reader very hard as well as annoying, much like many students in my class. Ever since my school started using sparx, instead of 3 English homeworks a term, it's three hundred Sparx points a week which is very hard to maintain, especially with a lack of books I can/willingly read. Sparx reader has made me start to hate reading, even physical books and manga. So if any teachers or schools read these one star reviews, please don't torture you students.

This "homework" website has strained my relationship with my family as it is so tedious and hard to change your book that I cannot speak to them as often as I would like when you attempt to look back at the text as you would be able to in an exam when answering questions it prevents it its more of a little detail memory annoyance than reading homework and exam revision

My son has had no choice but to use this app for four years now. He has to read from a screen, and gets tracked doing so. He's also using the mobile phone he also gets told disrupts learning. He consequently almost never goes near a book. It has basically finished any remaining love of books that he had. The school is totally reckless and ignorant for making them use this. The company that made it needs boycotting or closing down. It is a totally inappropriate method of learning that is more like something from a dystopia of the future.
