What Reading Buddy does
Paste a chapter section, story or article and get a reading companion: hard words explained, a short gist for each part, and comprehension questions to check you followed it. It walks with you through the text so you build the reading skill, instead of skipping to a summary. Handy for tough textbook passages and unseen comprehension practice.
