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.

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. We have done 3rd, 4th & 5th grade quizzes. They love the fun aspect of getting the questions right, and think of these more as games than a learning app."
