Build vocabulary
Learn the words while you read the book.
The fastest way to grow your vocabulary is to meet new words inside something you want to read, look them up in one tap, and see them again. In Redline you tap any word for its meaning, it goes to My Words, and it comes back as a flashcard until you know it.
Why it happens
Lists do not stick
A word with no sentence around it has nothing to hold on to.
Looking up breaks the flow
Leaving the page for a dictionary costs more than the word is worth, so you skip it.
Once is not enough
You meet a word, understand it, and never see it again.
The fix
Take the vocabulary builder and get your list.
Read what you want in Redline and tap any word you do not know.
Clear your My Words flashcards before the next read.
