Sparx Reader hasn't helped me a single bit with my reading. They make it incredibly dificult to gain XP. If you get a **single** question wrong you have to do it all over again and only get about 6 xp making the average task of about 300 XP take rougly a school week with all other homework that you're required to complete. I also have Sparx Maths which is still a pain but much better than Sparx Reader. It takes the joy away from reading a good book. The fact that schools have to PAY to use this system is an absolute joke.

I am a parent and wish my children's school would stop using this. It sucks the joy out of reading! They have to read on a screen and you can't even get a physical copy of the book as it checks your progress online. This is ridiculous - It is discouraging the pleasure of picking up a book and reading. Why force them to do everything on a screen, even reading novels! It is not good to be forced to be on screens even more! Let the pupils read! Books! Actual books! It is very sad that this discourages the real joy of reading.

I personally think sparx reader is quite bad, I'm forced against my will to choose a selection of books that I'm not in retested reading and if you get a question wrong it sends you back to the first question.

This is an honest question which I don't understand hasn't been resolved. This is a learning app, this is meant to create a good bond with books for readers. My problem is with gold reader. It doesn't last long, it takes ages to get, and without it, this app is practically useless. It doesn't take into account that everyone has different tastes in genre, what would make it a better experience, is if, after completing the homework, students can read whichever book they like, it doesn't make much sense to me why they can't log a book that they are akready reading and loving. Getting gold reader, or essentially premium education, shouldn't have to take that much. Its by far the worst app whose aim is to increase reading in students. I love to read but this actually runs it for me by forcing me to read books I don't want to. Ridiculous.
