Ban schools from using online reading practice websites

Petition Details

I want it to be banned as they increase children’s screentime and I believe it is better to use a physical reading book.

Additional Information

An alternative could be schools using reading diaries to make sure students are reading physical books instead of using websites which I believe make the reading experience for students worse, as in recent years, it has been reported that digital reading has negatively impacted reading rates for children.

Schools should not use online websites to set reading homework.
