There is a new app called Skeelo that wants to help people in Mexico read more books on their phones and tablets. Every month, the app gives you one free digital book that you can read anywhere, like at home, on the bus, or at school. The idea is that reading just one good book each month is easier than choosing from thousands at the same time. Little by little, you can build your own library inside the app and feel proud of all the stories you finish.
In Mexico, many people do not read very much, and some children never go to libraries or bookstores with their families. Skeelo wants to change this by making books feel close, simple, and fun so more kids can enjoy reading. The people who made the app believe that reading can help you learn new words, understand the world better, and use your imagination. They hope that with this app, more children will discover that books can be exciting, not boring.
