ClockWise turns learning to tell time into a game. Kids move the hands, race the clock and collect stars, one small step at a time. FROM O'CLOCK TO FIVE MINUTES Six levels follow how kids learn in school (Common Core 2.MD.C.7): o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to, ten minutes, five minutes, and a mix of everything. Times are read the way kids hear them in class: "three fifteen", with "quarter past three" where it helps. 26 ACTIVITIES • What time is it? Read the clock and pick the answer • Set the clock: drag the hands yourself • Analog and digital, AM and PM, and the 24-hour clock • Elapsed time: how much later is it? • A flight board, a school schedule and time zones from New York to Tokyo • Clock memory, a time race and a stopwatch challenge PLAY TOGETHER Race a friend on one iPad, or play on two devices nearby. POINT AT A REAL CLOCK The clock scanner reads the clock on your wall and checks your answer. DAILY CHALLENGE AND STREAKS A short challenge every day at the right level, with stars, streaks and clock themes to unlock. FOR PARENTS A progress report shows what your child has mastered and where they need practice. Every profile has its own progress. FOR TEACHERS The Classroom license (one school year, up to 36 students) gives every student their own profile on a shared iPad, a class overview and a PDF report per student. APPLE WATCH AND WIDGETS A clock question on your wrist, and a widget with today's challenge. SAFE FOR KIDS No ads. No account. No data leaves the device except through iCloud, if you use it. Purchases are behind a parent check. PREMIUM Level 1 is free in every activity. ClockWise Premium unlocks all levels for every profile, as a 12-month, 6-month or 1-month subscription.

My kids read every day, and although their school asks for only 20 minutes, they usually read for 40 minutes to an hour. Watching how much their reading and writing improved over time inspired me to build an app that helps other readers keep the same routine. My children gave me a lot of feedback on this app. It wouldn't be here without them! "I love ReadingClock! I use it for my reading time at home and for my homework." - my son "ReadingClock is so helpful! Also my mom always takes my feedback to make the app better!" - my daughter Upgrade to ReadingClock Pro to enjoy the app ad-free.
