Setting a personal goal with your child
An optional minute or money target — a private nudge, not a leaderboard.
You can set a private personal goal for your child — a minute target, a money target, or both. It's just between you and them; no one else sees it, and no prize is attached.
Where to find it
Click your child's name in your sidebar. The personal goal card sits between their stats and the school's progress.
Set it with your child, not for them — "Want to try to read 500 minutes by the end?" is a much more motivating conversation than typing a number and surprising them. The agreement matters more than the number.
What's a reasonable goal?
Most children read 15–20 minutes a day already. Multiply by how long the campaign runs for a baseline, then add 30–50% as a stretch. A two-week read-a-thon at 20 minutes a day is 280 minutes — a 400-minute goal would feel like a stretch.
Once set, you'll see a progress bar on your child's page, and a small celebration when they cross the line. No prize comes with it — these are just for your family. Edit or remove the goal any time.
