Ten absolute-beginner stories with four core words, complete word support, clear grammar guidance, and book-in-hand rereading practice.
0/10 companions complete
Optional extra practice. Your book contains everything needed to complete the reading. No account required. Progress stays on this device; signing in remains optional for cross-device story progress and saved words.
A calm absolute-beginner routine
- 1. Read. Use the supported read first, then try its paired independent read.
- 2. Check. Start with four core words, then open the complete word and grammar guides only when you need them.
- 3. Return. Come back for a short next-day review of the four core words and main pattern.
