Challenge Pitch

We want to help teachers and their pupils that are learning to read to reach reading fluency. Many kids are reluctant to read on a daily basis, but this is required to achieve fluency. Kids may track the reading progress with the app and with every day reading for a few minutes, they can unlock a little bonus (could be part of an image or part of a video sequence). After enough days reading, they can finally see the entire image or entire video.
