TianyouXu··on Launch HN: Litnerd (YC S21) – Teaching kids to read with the help of live actors
Awesome stuff Anisa -- there used to be a program back when I was in elementary school called "accelerated readers' program" which really helped me become a better reader. Basically you read a book and you can take a test after reading that book and based on the level of difficulty of that book / how well you did on the test, you would get points. And those points would get your prizes (like coupons to Chuck-E-Cheese or to a movie). Top weekly readers also got shout outs over the PA system during morning announcements. Great way to gamify reading and helped me a lot. Maybe that concept can be inspo for something here!
