This book can earn their screen time.

Assign Tales from Shakespeare as a mission and pick the schedule: every day, school nights, weekends, or one tale a week. The app serves the next tale each time and keeps the bookmark.

📚 They read it in the app

The full text, 21 tales, on their own device. No separate book to buy or lose.

🎤 They prove it out loud

At the end of a tale the app highlights a short passage and your child reads it aloud. Mak listens and checks it against the page.

⚡ The screen time is earned

Pass, and the XP lands. Screen time comes from the book, not the feed.
