Getting started overview

As the Sparx Reader leader, here are the six steps you need to complete to set up your school's Sparx Reader site: 

1. Add Classes and Students

2. Add Staff

3. Train Your Team: Introduce Sparx Reader to your department and ensure all teachers complete their training.

4. Launch with Students: Organise a lesson where students have IT access so you can Introduce Sparx Reader to them and make sure they can log in and sit the Sparx Reading Test. 

5. Engage your Parents/Carers

6. Set Homework

A smooth onboarding process for staff and students leads to better engagement. For best practices, check out our section on Implementing Sparx Reader.
