Field notes
The product combines daily news with level-adjusted reading, word-level translation, pronunciation, grammar notes, audio, and article quizzes. Its vocabulary system returns saved words inside later stories rather than isolating them in flashcard sessions. The homepage lists six languages in its language picker and separately advertises classroom controls for sharing a fixed edition and following student progress.
