A calm absolute-beginner routine

  1. 1. Read. Use the supported read first, then try its paired independent read.
  2. 2. Check. Start with four core words, then open the complete word and grammar guides only when you need them.
  3. 3. Return. Come back for a short next-day review of the four core words and main pattern.
