What's inside
Add three new words to your active vocabulary by extracting them from recent reading and writing one original sentence for each; do this after a focused reading session or when you want quick vocabulary practice.
You have paused or finished reading but haven't identified or recorded any unfamiliar words from the passage.
You often skip recording words because you don't have a quick, repeatable process to choose which words count as 'new', verify their meanings, and write example sentences in one sitting.
You will have three new words logged with a brief definition and one original example sentence for each.
