How it helps you read better
- Passages are pitched just above your current level, so almost every word is one you know - the way reading actually builds a language.
- Questions test whether you understood the passage, not whether you can match words - each has a short explanation.
- Tap any word for an instant translation and hear it spoken, learning vocabulary in context.
- Difficulty adapts as you go, and your streak and saved words are kept on your device.
