Pick the hardest line you can still read. 20 seconds, no account needed.
Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.
The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
One article at the level you picked, sent at 7:00. No account needed. One tap to stop.
