a reading timer that follows the pupil

5 June 2026 · 3 min read

Teachers supporting a small group often need a simple answer to one question: has each pupil had enough time with a book today? Wobble’s reading timer stays with the pupil as they move through the app.

a nudge, not enforcement

A teacher can set a goal for the group or a different goal for one pupil. The student sees a calm update such as “today: 12 / 20 min”. Missing the target never blocks a book or locks a screen.

useful context for the next session

Time is shown beside book and chapter progress, tricky words and comprehension. It helps a teacher start a conversation; it is not a score of effort or ability.
