Dyslexia setting needed

Some of these are a little challenging or the timer is too fast if you are dyslexic

Love this app!

I have been using Outread for a few years now. I absolutely love it for the SPRITZ reading as it helps me focus on the content and with retention. Well worth the price for unlocking it as well!

Great features

Apart from its great features, the Staff Pick section is the best. Using since more than one year.

Woah!

Myślałem, że to będzie prosta apka do czytania tekstów, ale to prawdziwy kombajn do nauki i uczenia się szybkiego czytania. Bardzo pomysłowe ćwiczenia. Chętnie sobie powtarzam wieczorami :)
