Nudge Reading

A mobile app that transforms screen time into a powerful incentive for reading. Nudge Reading motivates kids to build daily reading habits by locking access to entertainment apps (like YouTube or Roblox) until they hit their reading goals. Effortless for parents, exciting for kids — it’s a smarter, tech-savvy way to raise curious, consistent readers in the digital age.
