 Step 1: Vocabulary Preview
In this step, you preview the vocabulary words used in the article before you read it. Our reading specialists will help you by employing the extensive Vocab 4800 database, which includes unique and enlightening sample sentences. You can also listen to word pronunciations and audio recordings of sample sentences, and store this information in your own vocabulary notes for future reference.

 Step 2: Preliminary Reading (1st reading)
This is the preliminary first read. In this step, you will read the article without tutorials. Even if reading comprehension is difficult at this point, the independent first read is a very important step. The next step may be omitted if you found the article easy to comprehend.
