Why Pageticker? Three reasons...
1. Less admin, more teaching.
No wading through a pile of reading diaries - with Pageticker, you see your class's reading in a single glance. Dig deeper if you like; send reading reminders to parents in seconds if necessary. Teachers using Pageticker report a 75% reduction in reading-diary related admin.
2. Save budget, not just time.
Cut costs instantly: typically save around £1 per pupil by ditching paper reading diaries, and another (reported average of) £490 through fewer misplaced phonics and library books.
3. Inspire pupils to read more.
Pageticker keeps pupils motivated with rewards such as badges and certificates, and keeps parents engaged through push notifications and email reminders. Children take pride in their 'bookshelf' - a beautiful record of everything they have ever read, and they're inspired by book recommendations based on their reading history, level, and interests.
