Using Kindle Freetime

To view your child's progress, tap the profile icon next to their name, then select
Progress. Tap the Books link in the top left of the screen to view the percentage of each book
read, total reading time, average reading time per session, and the number of words that
your child looked up in the dictionary.
Tap the Activity link in the top left corner to view the number of achievements, progress
towards the daily reading goal, pages read, hours read, books finished, and the total number
of looked-up words. Use the arrows to view progress within the last week. Tap the date to
view achievements by day, month, and total. Tap the Achievements link in the top left corner
to see which achievements your child has earned.
Your child will see a customized Home screen, including the books you selected and a new
Progress button on the toolbar. Tapping the Progress button displays the same Book and
Activity links that you see, and the Achievements link if you elected to turn on the Access to
Achievements option.

Goodreads on Kindle

Goodreads on Kindle lets you connect with the Goodreads community, see what your friends
are reading, and share and rate books. Tap the Goodreads button on the toolbar to get
started. You will be prompted to sign in to Goodreads or create a new account if you did not
do so when setting up your Kindle.
When you log in with an existing Goodreads account, you are able to see what your friends
are reading and see your Want to Read, Currently Reading, and Read shelves.
When you create a new account, you will have the opportunity to choose Readers to
Follow. If you connect using your Facebook account, any Facebook friends who are also on
Goodreads will be automatically added to your Goodreads friend list.
Next, you will be directed to a list of your Amazon book purchases, both digital and physical.
Tap the Shelf icon to shelve the book. You can also rate a book on this screen. Note that
rating a book automatically adds it to your Read shelf if it is not already there. Shelved and
rated books will be visible to all of your friends. You can always remove a shelved book later
by tapping the Shelf icon and selecting Remove from Shelf. Select Skip to go to the
Profile screen and view your shelves, friends, and recent updates.
There are three tabs located in the top corner:
Updates: View recent updates. Tap on a person's name to view their profile.
My Shelves: Select to rate a book, update your reading status for a book, add Amazon books,
and filter by shelf type.
