Michelle Skamene
Michelle is Founder & Managing Partner of Reading Rewards. In 2009, Michelle Skamene was unhappy about the fact that her two boys, then aged 8 and 9, spent very little time reading. Video games and computers were too much competition for their books. She and her husband decided to put a system in place whereby their kids had to earn TV or game console time by reading.
An IT consultant working in the field of Web-based application development, Michelle set up a program for them to log their reading and TV time to help everyone keep track. That was the beginning of Reading Rewards.
