We want to encourage daily reading for our kids, yet most ele & mid school reading teachers complain about AR as the measure of student independent reading. Why is it that with all the edtech companies out there that no one has stepped up into this space? 🤔

We are not preparing our kids for rigorous college reading by giving them a steady diet of excerpts, poetry, and news articles, but not a single book cover to cover.
