## What is Tale! Family Screen Time?

Tale! helps families build better reading habits by tying screen time to books — not battles.

Explore stories inspired by award-winning children's books, complete quizzes, and turn reading into earned screen time. Parents stay in control by choosing which apps remain locked until reading goals are met, setting schedules for homework and bedtime, and managing screen time without constant refereeing.

**WHY FAMILIES LOVE TALE!**
• Turn reading into earned screen time — automatically  
• Manage access to distracting apps through reading rewards  
• Create schedules for homework, bedtime, and reading time  
• Explore engaging stories with Ryan the Rhino  
• Keep parent controls protected with PIN and Face ID  
• Set daily reading reminders to encourage consistent habits  

**HOW IT WORKS**
1. Parents choose which apps to restrict and set reading goals.
2. Reading activities and quizzes help families earn unlock minutes.
3. Earned minutes unlock selected apps, which are restricted again when time runs out.

Built for parents who want less screen drama and more pages turned.
