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 customised 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 can see, and the Achievements link if you elected to turn
on the Access Achievements option.
