    > to build daily reading habits among a phone-first population

    Reading is fundamental.

    EDIT: Other skills and habits that you can then build on reading: critical thinking, reasoning, detection and handling own biases, numeracy, financial literacy, and more. All these dimensions are manipulated via phones and the apps on them, so you need a firewall.

    Also: writing. Cursive writing.
