How it works
Reading begins with recognizing the words in front of you. Flash makes that part of the task visible: a word or phrase appears briefly, then you choose the matching answer. The question is simple, but useful: what did you actually take in?
The targets come from the same word and phrase collection used by the full exercise. Use the speed options to choose how long they appear. As you answer, the exercise adjusts the challenge, including the length of the words and phrases. When you miss a choice, the correction lets you compare what you thought you saw with what was shown.
The exercise is designed to challenge quick and accurate word recognition. Look for a setting where you can make a deliberate choice, notice mistakes and try again. The brief presentations make accuracy easy to check one target at a time.
In everyday reading, recognizing a word is only part of understanding a message. Think of Flash as a focused recognition exercise alongside the activities that ask you to connect sentences, follow an argument and recall its main points.
