The method
How read-along reading works
Three simple steps turn a classic novel into comprehensible, enjoyable English practice.
Pick your English level
Choose A1 to C2. The reader highlights only the words above your level — never the ones you already know — so you read at the edge of your ability without getting stuck.
Listen and read along
A calm, narrated audiobook plays while the text scrolls and the word being spoken lights up in time. Following the voice keeps you moving at a natural, steady pace.
Tap any word
Tap a highlighted word for a clear definition, a pronunciation you can hear, the phonetic spelling, and example sentences — without losing your place.
Why pacing matters
Research on reading while listening finds the biggest comprehension gains when the audio gently sets the pace — that's exactly what the synchronized highlight does, nudging you forward instead of letting you stall on every line.
