You studied English for years. Why doesn’t it stick?
Enjoy stories at your level for 15 minutes a day. English starts to feel right.
Recommended by Paul Nation, Rob Waring, and Charles Browne. 1,700+ learners have read 400 million words.
You don’t need to study harder. You need more English.
Grammar rules and word lists teach you about English. But you also need lots of English you can understand. Most learners never get enough.
Power Reading: easy stories, every day.
Read and listen to stories at your level. You meet the same words and grammar again and again, in stories you enjoy. That’s how they stick.
Paul Nation calls big reading the best improvement a teacher can make. ReadOasis makes it something learners actually do.
Fifteen minutes a day adds up.
In a study of Japanese students, reading goals like these made a clear difference.
- 100,000about 2 months
Students started to get a feel for English.
- 300,000about 6 months
Students stopped translating in their heads, and TOEIC scores went up.
- 2,000,000a long-term goal
Readers can match the gains of ten months of study abroad, from home.
