Reading minutes made easy

Many schools ask for 15 to 20 minutes of reading each night. Set the time, put the timer where your child can see it and let the ring do the reminding. When it ends, note the minutes in the reading log.

For younger children, the visual timer for kids has shorter presets. For older students, the study timer.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work if my screen locks or I close the tab?

Only while the page is open. The countdown keeps time from your device clock in a background tab, but phones and laptops can pause or silence web pages when they sleep, lock or close the tab. For anything that really matters, also set your device's own alarm.
