Reading aloud at home can turn into a source of tension when parents correct their children and patience runs short. Daniel Iglesias says families often tell him about these situations. His company, Digi Sapiens, has developed Gyoji, a digital reading tutor intended to make the practice more positive.

The app uses playful features to encourage children to read. Users can choose a companion, such as a fox or a panda, and receive rewards for their progress.
