Hey parents! Have you heard of Kindle FreeTime?
Kindle FreeTime is a customized feature on all current Kindle e-readers that allows parents to set daily reading goals for their children either by page count or duration. While my son is starting to enjoy reading without much encouragement this year, this feature definitely would have come in handy last year. Perhaps this will give him that additional boost of encouragement to read instead of asking for screen time.
This simple and fun tool also rewards kids with achievement badges when they reach their reading milestones. A daily progress report keeps parents updated on total time spent reading, number of words looked up, badges earned and books read.
Setting up the Kindle FreeTime is easy as it take only 4 steps:
- Create a password.
- Add a profile.
- Fill it up with books that you recommend for your child.
- Set a reading goal for your child.
The Kindle Parental Controls give parents the ability to restrict certain Kindle features such as restricting access to the experimental web browser, the Kindle Store, Cloud storach and Goodreads on Kindle.
I’m very excited to be able to offer you a giveaway where two lucky winners will receive a $50 Amazon Gift Card.
Prize: Two lucky winners will receive a $50 Amazon Gift card

The only books I have read lately have been cookbooks, and I am just getting used to using my tablet to read my recipes while in the kitchen but the problem I have with using a tablet compared to a reader is it keeps going off!!
Lynda, I LOVE to read cookbooks!
You could always change the setting for the length of time it must remain untouched before going off….

I prefer paper but sometimes eReaders are way more convenient.
I have an ereader but most of the time I forget to charge it. My daughter is a real book fan and I’ve read a lot of her books. I find if I’ve put the book down and not read it for a while, it is much easier with paper to skim over and refresh my memory.
