Bible In Basic English. The Bible In Basic English (BBE) is a translation of the Bible into Basic English. The BBE was translated by Professor S. H. Hooke. In an effort to simplify and make easy to understand the text he and his team limited the vocabulary to the standard 850 Basic English words. 100 words that were helpful to understand poetry were added along with 50 "Bible" words. The Bible in Basic English strives to simplify the Bible so that more people worldwide can read and understand the text. By using the Basic English vocabulary, this goal is accomplished. The BBE is certainly straightforward and simple.

Most speed-reading apps hand you an empty box and a stopwatch. Readlio comes with 70,000+ free books and every Wikipedia article plus six training games, two reading modes, and a comprehension check that tells you whether you actually understood what you just sped through. READING FAST IS EASY. REMEMBERING IT IS THE HARD PART. Classic RSVP flashes one word at a time at a fixed focal point. It's fast but research shows that removing your ability to glance back hurts comprehension. So Readlio gives you a second mode. Highlight Flow keeps the entire text on the page while a highlight travels through it at your chosen speed. Slightly slower, dramatically better recall, and you can always look back at the sentence you just passed. Switch between them any time. Your place is kept.
