Alan Wagstaff

Alan Wagstaff

Creator of a structured learning app designed to help beginner readers, including adults, progress from functional reading to proficiency.

I created this app to support beginner readers, including adults, who want to strengthen their reading skills and feel more confident in everyday situations. Reading development is not a single step; it is a gradual process that requires clear instruction, purposeful practice, and encouragement along the way.

The app is built around detailed learning information and practical instructions designed to guide learners from an early reading level toward greater proficiency and independence. It focuses on developing useful skills progressively, so learners can build understanding rather than feel overwhelmed.

I wanted this app to provide a clear, self-paced learning experience that learner readers can return to regularly. Each lesson and activity is intended to make progress easier to understand, practice more manageable, and improvement more visible over time.

My hope is that this app helps learners strengthen their reading abilities, approach written information with greater confidence, and recognize the progress they are making every day.

Recognize common words and sentence patterns
Improve reading comprehension step by step
Use context to understand unfamiliar words

AI-POWERED COACHING

Every single day in the app is 100% personalized to you.

What should I focus on today?
10:07 PM
Today, we’ll focus on finding main ideas, separating essential details from examples, and writing concise summaries. These skills help you understand workplace documents, forms, articles, and everyday information with greater confidence.
10:07 PM
I only have five minutes today and feel tired after work. Can you update my activities so I can still make useful progress without reading a full passage?
10:08 PM
Absolutely! I’ll adjust today’s activities to a five-minute vocabulary warm-up, a short paragraph analysis, and one-sentence summary. You’ll maintain momentum while practicing the same core comprehension skills at a manageable pace.
