> Pageticker is a digital reading diary platform developed by former educators to promote reading for pleasure in schools and reading engagement at home, whilst reducing administrative tasks for schools. Pageticker aims to re-engage children with books through motivational features and personalised recommendations.

## Competitive positioning

Most digital reading diaries have a poor UX, are expensive and focus solely on getting parents to log their child's reading.
Pageticker is feature-packed and has great UX for teachers and parents, making it a self-serve product. Pageticker has a strong reading-for-pleasure focus, pushing the idea that any reading is good reading and every child is on a different reading journey. By integrating extrinsic motivation features, they help children build routine intrinsic book-reading habits that support the development of focus, empathy, faster, stronger brains, academic success, and other important developmental factors.
