The reading practice problem

Many reading apps stop at short passages and generic exercises.

Those can help at the beginning, but adult learners often need a different kind of practice: real books, real sentences, and quick support when vocabulary blocks understanding.

TeakReader keeps the reading material and the study tools together, so practice can happen inside the book instead of in a separate worksheet, dictionary, or vocabulary notebook.

Support inside the page

Read first, then get help at the exact moment you need it.

When one word blocks a sentence, tap it for meanings and vocabulary controls. When the whole line is difficult, use sentence translation as reading support rather than replacing the original English book.

Every lookup can become part of your larger vocabulary profile, so reading practice and review keep building on each other.

How it works

Turn reading practice into vocabulary progress.

TeakReader is built for learners who want to practice English reading with real material and keep the useful words for later.

1

Open a real book

Start with an EPUB, included title, or Project Gutenberg classic you actually want to read.

2

Read with help nearby

Tap hard words for meanings and translate difficult sentences without leaving the reading flow.

3

Track what you know

Use known, learning, ignored, and unknown-word signals to understand your reading vocabulary.

4

Review after reading

Turn useful words from the book into flashcards instead of starting from a generic word list.

Progress signals

See what is known, unknown, and worth studying next.

Reading practice gets easier to guide when you can see vocabulary progress. TeakReader tracks known, learning, ignored, and unknown words, with CEFR-level signals and review paths for the words that appeared in your book.

Reading app fit

Built for EPUB and Gutenberg reading practice.

TeakReader is best for adults and independent learners who want to practice with EPUB books, included titles, and public-domain Project Gutenberg classics.

It is not a Kindle, DRM, PDF, MOBI, or AZW reader, and it is not a children's phonics app. The focus is simple: read original English, get help when needed, and remember the words you meet.
