Stop skimming English. Train yourself to understand it. Fluency turns reading into measurable practice for adults and serious learners. Read one of 286 levelled passages, answer questions that test main idea, inference, vocabulary and detail, then learn what you missed. READ, THEN PROVE IT Work through five levels of fiction, science, history, philosophy and more. Every passage ends with real comprehension questions, so progress means understanding, not just finishing a page. COACHING THAT CHANGES HOW YOU READ Learn the strategy, signal phrases and vocabulary behind each passage. Guided re-reads show where the answer lives. On supported devices, the on-device reading tutor requires iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence. BUILD SPEED WITHOUT SACRIFICING MEANING Timed reading tracks WPM and accuracy. Your Literacy Index combines speed with comprehension, adaptive workouts target weak skills, and Fluency Lab compares a cold read with a hot re-read.
