A unique way to improve reading speed, comprehension, and memory! You can visit the website right now at shiloholotu.github.io/zoomread
ZoomRead was created by Ifedolapo Shiloh Olotu and was the winner of the 2022 Congressional App Challenge in Texas District 7. The web app allows users to read and then quiz themselves on passages using various reading and quizzing modes.
When reading a passage, the user can use the Free-Read mode, which allows the users to read at their own pace with a timer and WPM(Words-Per-Minute) tracker,
or they can use the Speed-Read mode, where the user can read at a set WPM to put their skills to the test!
When quizzing themselves on a passage, the user has 4 modes for quizzing: Summarize, Fill-In-The-Blank, Imposter, and Timeline.
In the Summarize mode, the user can test their memory by trying their best to summarize the passage read.
In the Fill-In-The-Blank mode, the user is tested through unique algorithm-generated fill-in-the-blank questions.
In the Imposter mode, the user is presented with 2 versions of the same sentence and must discern which is the correct one.
And finally, in the Timeline mode, the user is presented with 3 sentences which they must rearrange into the correct order.
ZoomRead aims to be a one-stop-shop for all your reading needs! It utilizes various reading and quizzing modes to build up your reading speed and comprehension. Happy reading!
