SIX TRAINING TOOLS • Word Flash — flashes one word at a time so your eyes stop backtracking and get paced faster • Schulte Table — a number-grid drill that widens your visual span and cuts fixations • Hopscotch — an eye-movement drill that trains your eyes to move forward, not back • Column Highlighter — guides your eyes down the page in columns to read faster • Diamond Highlighter — highlights key phrases to sharpen focus and cut distraction • Sight Stretcher — widens your peripheral vision so you take in more per glance WHAT ELSE YOU GET • Free reading-speed test — measure your words per minute and comprehension, then watch both climb • Gamified training course — a level path with daily goals, streaks and reminders that make practice stick • Comprehension checks — so speed never costs understanding • Progress tracking — WPM over time, comprehension scores and milestones • Built-in library and distraction-free reader — practise on real books, curated for you HOW IT WORKS Take the WPM test, get a personalized plan, then train about 10 minutes a day. Small daily reps build a faster reading habit that lasts. THE SCIENCE Word Flash pacing, eye-movement drills and Schulte tables target the habits that slow you down — backtracking, subvocalizing and narrow focus (progress measured by in-app assessments). WHO IT'S FOR Students and exam prep, busy professionals, focus-minded readers, English learners, and anyone with a stack of books they never finish. Free to start. Cancel anytime. Available in 25 languages. Take the free reading test and see your speed today.
