This is an updated version of something I've been pushing since the 1980's.
My simple simple system for getting kids to read is as follows:
1 free large flatscreen tv to each at risk kid household.
Free subscription at top level to Sat TV provider.
For each 1/2 hour of viewing, kid must input the answer to 20 math facts problems, e.g., 8 x9 =?
No sound, just subtitles.
1/4 of shows viewed must come from educational channels, National Geographics, NASA, PBS, History, Biography, etc.
Get two 1/2 hour math problem sets in a row correct on first try, earn 1 hour of audio viewing, but subtitles still visible.
These can be varied, but you get the basic idea.
Yes, they can use a calculator, but given the amount of viewing, over time, the whole household will learn those facts.
Main code to make the set operational for three days at a time is sent to, the kid’s principal.
Set will not accept external inputs, other than mated Sat dish receiver.
