- Read at your level
- Listen before you read
- Check what you understood

How to use graded reading
- Listen first. Play the story once without reading — catching even a few words trains your ear.
- Read without translations. Guess from context; tap a sentence only when you are truly stuck.
- Save the words that stopped you. Tap any word to hear it, see it in the dictionary, and star it for later.
- Check yourself, then move on. The questions at the end tell you if the level fits. Understanding ~90% means you are reading at the right level.
Re-reading old texts is not cheating — it is how vocabulary becomes automatic. Come back daily, even for five minutes.
