Frequently asked

What's a summer reading challenge?

Most public libraries + many schools run a 6–10 week summer reading program. Kids commit to a target (usually 20-40 minutes/day, or 12-20 books over the summer) and get prizes for hitting milestones. The library tracks at school using Beanstack or paper logs; FamCove gives you the daily-tracking layer at home — same data, syncs to whatever the library uses.

How does FamCove track summer reading?

Set a goal: target minutes (e.g. 1,200 = 20 min × 60 days), target books (e.g. 12), start + end dates. The dashboard shows progress in real time. Kid sees a streak counter + heat map; parent sees stats + can print the goal-progress PDF for library submission.

Does it work with library reading programs (Beanstack)?

FamCove tracks separately from Beanstack. Some parents use both: Beanstack for the official library count, FamCove for the daily nightly tracking + the printable backup. The FamCove printable PDF is accepted by most librarians as a parent-completed log.

Can I set different goals for different kids?

Yes — each child has their own goal + log. K-2 kid: 600 min over 8 weeks. 5th grader: 1,200 min over 8 weeks. Independent progress tracking per kid.

What if my kid misses days?

The streak resets but historical data + total minutes accumulate. The heatmap shows gaps so you know which weeks to push. The point isn't perfection — it's the cumulative habit.

Is there a 'days remaining' alert?

Yes — the goal card shows progress vs target as a percent. As the deadline approaches, if you're behind pace, the dashboard surfaces it.

Is it free?

Yes. Reading goals + tracking + printable are all included free, unlimited goals per kid.

20 minutes a night × all summer = 1,200 minutes.
