Speed shows what you really know

When you have a whole minute to think about one word, you can work it out. When you have two seconds, you either know it or you do not. Timed practice trains automatic recognition, which is exactly what you need to read fluently without stopping at every line.

Short sessions, real progress

A one-minute game is easy to repeat. Play a round every day at the same level and watch your score rise as the words become automatic. When a level feels easy, move up.
