How can they help?

- No more lost or damaged paper diaries! - All reading records are stored centrally for easy access  - Simple data to measure engagement with reading - Easy-to-use for staff, parents and children - Affordable. £1 per pupil for a yearly subscription BoomReader is environmentally friendly, and it's easy to add whole-class and group-reading sessions by teachers to all children’s records. The app provides useful data for teachers and subject leaders, but it's not overwhelming for busy teachers. Schools can add their own books/reading schemes to the existing BoomReader database and build their own reading band system. Parents can easily add comments indicating books completed and words that were tricky, and multiple parents/carers can log in. Children can log in up to twice a day and they have the option to review a book when completed. BoomReader supports schools with engaging parents and children with reading challenges, including the national competition known as the GoReadathon. Winners receive book tokens, trophies and other prizes.
