Start reading free How it works

2%~5% new words · 30 min/day · 14-day cycle

The 2 · 30 · 14 method

Three numbers that turn reading into real language growth.

2%

Read what you understand

Pick books at about 2–5% new words. If you understand it, you can keep reading — and that's where growth happens.

30

Thirty minutes a day

A small, steady daily dose of input keeps the vocabulary and sentence patterns flowing in.

14

Same author, 14 days

Read one author for a two-week cycle and the new-word rate drops naturally — narrow reading at its best.

Everything you need to read a lot

Built around comprehensible input — the single most reliable path to fluent reading, listening, speaking and writing.

📚

Graded rewrites of classics

Public-domain masterpieces rewritten at fixed vocabulary ceilings, labeled with their true measured level.

🎯

Vocabulary test

A two-stage adaptive test estimates your reading vocabulary, then matches books to your i+1 level automatically.

🔁

Narrow reading

Smart recommendations by the same author or theme keep the new-word rate dropping as you progress.

📊

Reading stats

Streaks, heatmaps, minutes and micro-outputs — see your input add up and reading become a habit.

🔊

Read-aloud

Text-to-speech for a page, a chapter, or the whole book — train your ears while you read.

✏️

Tap-to-understand

Tap any word for an English-English definition, or double-tap to mark it known — no dictionary-diving required.

Listening, speaking and writing can't be produced from an empty brain. Reading is the shared supply system for all of them.

Comprehensible input

You acquire language when you understand messages slightly beyond your current level. Readu keeps every book just at that edge — understandable, but still growing.

Three golden rules

Ditch the dictionary, skip what you don't get, and switch books that don't fit. Fluency first — the vocabulary internalizes itself through context.

FAQ

What is a "graded" book?

A graded edition is a classic rewritten at a fixed vocabulary ceiling (1000–3000 words). Readu measures each book's real level, so the "Level X words" label is a readability guarantee, not a guess.

How do I know my level?

Take the built-in vocabulary test (about 1–2 minutes). Readu then matches every book to your i+1 level automatically.

What's narrow reading?

Reading several books by the same author or on the same theme. Recurring vocabulary makes each next book easier — the new-word rate drops naturally.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel in one click and keep Pro until the end of your billing period.

iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Subscribing here on the web unlocks the same Pro account everywhere.
