For Schools
A Digital Reading Diary for Schools - Inspiring Children to Love Reading
How does it work?
Build the habit
Not all children naturally love reading, but Pageticker can nudge them in the right direction. Through the dashboard, teachers send reminders that encourage students to read regularly at home and earn rewards.
Make it stick
As reading becomes part of a child's daily routine, Pageticker’s community features and personalised book suggestions keep them motivated and excited to explore new stories.
In pilot studies, schools using Pageticker saw 78% more reading logged by parents compared to traditional paper diaries.
Inspire to read
Reading is contagious! Give book-loving students a platform to share recommendations and inspire classmates. One eager reader can start a community — help them spread the joy!
Easily track who's reading what
The home page shows your school's achievements, such as books completed and trending books.
Get an instant overview of class reading within the pupil reading page. Generate certificates to celebrate reading milestones, set targets, and send nudges to parents.
In-built book management
The Book Catalogue acts as a low-touch library management system sufficient for most primary schools' needs. Loan books and keep track of them. Search your catalogue by genre, scheme, difficulty and age category.
Set reading challenges within your school
Set challenges for specific groups, classes or for your whole school to take part in. Pupils can earn special challenge badges to add to their collection in the app while viewing their progress to the earning the next one.
Why schools are switching
Less admin, more teaching.
No wading through a pile of reading diaries - with Pageticker, you can view the weekly reading of a whole class in a single web view. Dig deeper into the rich data if you like; send reading reminders to parents in seconds if necessary. Teachers using Pageticker report a 75% reduction in reading-diary related admin.
Save budget, not just time.
With Pageticker, schools cut costs instantly: for an average school, around £150 a year by ditching paper reading diaries, and another £490 through fewer misplaced phonics and library books.
Inspire pupils to read more.
Pageticker keeps pupils motivated with rewards such as digital badges, goals and targets, and reminders such as push notifications. Children take pride in their 'bookshelf' - a beautiful record of everything they have ever read and are inspired by book recommendations based on their reading history, level, and interests.
