I don't want to be that guy but this sounds horrible. You shouldn't treat reading as a chore or as something you have to do in order to watch TV. I think it's better if you let them watch TV for 1-2 hours per day and that's it. Let them read if they want to, don't force them like that.

Of course if you have a kid that enjoys reading, go ahead and let them read for 12 hours a day. That's what I did.

But if the options are no reading and 15-30 minutes of reading every day, I'll pick the latter even if I need a screen time shaped carrot to achieve it.

Just being able to read a full book without having a subway surfers video bouncing next to it is a superpower for under 15 year olds today.
