At the same time, the child is introduced to the main phonetic patterns of written English. All of this is done with the help of creatively crafted media. It happens to be easier for a child to learn stuff when he is shown “pictures, presentations and sound clips”.

The website is very user-friendly, so just choose the type of “quiz” you want your child to take and click it. After that, the quiz is very simple and your child has to choose the corresponding word with the image and vice versa. It will then play the words, and your child has to recognize those words.

After the quiz is finished, it will show you how many correct answers your child gave, which can be reviewed again. Currently, there are only 14 presentations to choose from. However, the website plans to take the number to 50 soon.

Features

• Free and easy to use.

Acceleread is a very effective app for the iPad which allows the user to improve their reading speed within a few days. Not only that, but the user is also taught how to retain focus on the task (book) at hand, and ensure that they remember more of it; no more skip-backs to see what was going on.

The app also trains the user to avoid unintentional reading, and makes sure the reading is as productive as ever, keeping focus on only the important stuff and avoiding unhelpful stuff, which dramatically improves not only the reading speed but also decreases the time taken for that specific book to be thoroughly read.

Once the training is complete, the user can take the built-in app speed test which will tell them how fast they can read and also remember what they just read. This can also be helpful if you want to see whether the app is useful or not by measuring your reading speed before and after taking the training courses provided by Acceleread.

The app costs $7.99 and it worth it. A good news for all MakeUseof readers; Acceleread is giving away 10 Free promo codes to the first 10 people who comment on this post.

Features:

• Improve reading speed.
• Improve focus and ‘buffer’ memory of the mind.
• Make reading more productive.
• Take guided training courses.
• Allow users to test their reading speed.
