Ban schools from using online reading practice websites
I want it to be banned as they increase children’s screentime and I believe it is better to use a physical reading book.
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.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
