> Great program for practicing
reading and improving your reading
speed.
For level 3 and 4
students, click "Preferences" on the Main Screen first,
and choose topics for reading - "Literature" and
"Speeches" are for levels 5 and 6 only; all the other
readings are okay for levels 3 and
4.
You can choose a warm-up
game first (Reading Warm-ups or Eye Max game); then,
timed reading is very good. |
