I love reading ... until are school gave us THIS!! Listen I would read for ages a night UNTIL THEY MADE ME it is annoying and if your a fast reader WELL TO BAD they will make you wait and if you try they will give you 1 point! I'm fed up of this

I know there are a lot of other 1 star reviews, but as a student myself, I can say that they are completely right. When I was younger, I used to thoroughly enjoy reading, having a large collection of books. However, once sparx reader was introduced to me and my school, I wont touch a book with a long stick. This app asks questions about what you've just read, and works on a point system. It asks you small details that are irrelevant to the actual story, making you unable to immerse yourself and actually enjoy the book. Get it wrong? You get less points for all the other questions. Which is where 30 minutes of reading can easily landslide into 5 hours. This app punishes students for getting things wrong rather than helping and encouraging them. It has genuinely not helped me, and I simply refuse to do it now.

I’m honestly baffled at how a single Sparx Reader book manages to swallow hours of my life like it’s nothing. I sit down thinking, “Cool, quick read, get it done,” and suddenly the sun has set, my evening is gone, and I’m still stuck answering endless questions that feel like they’re multiplying behind my back. The reading itself is fine — but the constant stop‑start, the quizzes, the checkpoints, the “go back and check this again” moments… it turns a simple book into a full‑blown endurance test. It shouldn’t take me longer to finish a Sparx Reader assignment than it does to finish an ACTUAL book. I get that it’s meant to help, but at some point it stops being learning and starts being punishment. Please, for the love of everyone’s sanity, make the tasks shorter or at least less repetitive. No student should need half a day just to complete one reading task.

Absolutely horrible no rsp just want to finish it in other words it is shit

Utterly horrific website. I walked in to find my child on a heap on the floor in distress because of the amount of stress this website was giving them. They tried for 1.5 hours to do their "short homework" and kept being made to repeat because they got 3/4 on the quiz. My child is alright now thankfully. We did refer them to the school councillor buy they were away. Have emailed the company and they replied with a nonsensical reply thet could well have been written by ai. Schools please stop using this website.

Ablist This website would not read out my homework, I am a dislexy individual who finds it very hard to read and the fonts and overlays would not help at all , horrible website would not recommend to anyone .
