1. Personalized onboarding
You select your CEFR level (A1 to C1), choose topic categories that interest you, and set your daily learning goal. The system uses this to build your first reading feed immediately.

How Readavo works: a complete system for learning English through reading
Readavo connects personalized reading, contextual translation, vocabulary tracking, and spaced repetition into one daily routine. Here is how each step works and why they fit together.
Process
Four steps from onboarding to daily growth
2. Read level-matched articles
Your feed shows articles adapted to your vocabulary range on topics you chose. During reading, tap any word to see translation, examples, and pronunciation without leaving the article.
3. Build your vocabulary
Save words from articles to your personal vocabulary. Each word keeps its original context, translation, and examples. Your vocabulary collection grows with every reading session.
4. Review with spaced repetition
The FSRS algorithm schedules each word for review at the optimal moment. Difficult words come back sooner; confident ones less often. Your daily plan shows exactly what to review today.
Why connecting reading, vocabulary, and review matters
Most language tools treat reading, vocabulary, and review as separate activities. You read in one place, make flashcards in another, and review somewhere else. This fragmentation wastes time and breaks the natural connection between context and memory.
Readavo keeps everything in one system. A word you translate while reading an article automatically has context. When that word appears in review, you remember not just the translation but the story where you first saw it. This dual encoding – semantic meaning plus episodic memory – is what makes retention significantly stronger.
What happens during a reading session
When you open an article, the text is adapted to your level. Unknown words are naturally embedded in the story. You tap a word to see its translation in the context of that specific sentence – not just a dictionary definition. You can hear pronunciation, see additional examples, and decide whether to save the word to your vocabulary.
After reading, the system offers short exercises on the words you just encountered. This immediate reinforcement is the first pass of learning. Later, spaced repetition provides the second, third, and fourth passes at scientifically optimal intervals.
What your daily routine looks like
Each day, the app generates a personal plan. You start with reviewing words that are due – usually 3-5 minutes of focused recall. Then you read a fresh article on a topic you care about, translating and saving new words as you go. Finally, you practice new vocabulary through exercises. The complete session takes 15-20 minutes and delivers measurable, compounding progress.
Everything connects to everything else
Reading feeds vocabulary. Vocabulary feeds review. Review strengthens reading comprehension. As your vocabulary grows, you can read harder texts, which introduce more advanced words, which enter your review cycle. This self-reinforcing loop is what makes Readavo fundamentally different from isolated tools.
