Description

Spark Reading improves the reading skills of students ages 6 to 16, designed by award winning experts and teachers to build up your child’s reading ability and confidence.

"Kids Apps We Love" - Apple App Store

Featuring hundreds of topics and thousands of questions, students will be hooked reading one story after the next as they improve their critical thinking skills and reading comprehension.

Spark Reading is designed to highlight the best stories for a child’s reading level and interests, empowering them to pick the perfect story to stay engaged with their learning.

Students have a digital library at their fingertips! Every academic subject is covered, and every story was written specifically for this app.

We are always adding new stories to help students grow as readers, so please write to us if there are any topics you’d like to see us add to the app!

Studies show that just 10 minutes of reading a day makes a world of difference for students. Completing comprehension questions has been linked to higher scores in reading proficiency.

User feedback:
"I like how it highlights where the answer was in the passage when you pick your answer." - Kami Butterfield, teacher

"The selections are age appropriate and the responses to the questions are not too easy - some thought needs to go into it." - Mary Skummer, teacher

"The feature showing where the answer is located in the passage is a spot on tool since I ask my students to be able to provide this in their oral and written responses." - Harold Nelson, teacher

"Great for reading practice - I would highly recommend it."

"These apps are awesome! Our boys absolutely love these. They love the fun aspect of getting the questions right, and think of these more as games than a learning app."

Best app ever for kids reading

AuT!st1c on

I love spark reading app. If you choose 3 topics it’ll randomly choose a story for you to read. Perfect for kids aged 7-14. There’s also a quiz at the end of each story which I love.

Thanks soooo much this app is better than procreate

Best app I have been able to find for comprehension

Lockmonstors on

Best app I have been able to find for comprehension. Answers highlight alongside the questions. My girls seem to find the app a good balance between challenging and intuitive. I needed to contact the developer for technical support who reassuringly responded same day and was very helpful which deservingly tipped this review to five stars.

Fun
