Back to HanRead HSK reading practice

HSK reading practice that adjusts to your level

Most graded readers give you a fixed set of texts at a fixed level — read them once and you're stuck waiting for new material. HanRead generates a new one instead: pick your HSK level and a topic you actually care about (or pull from real Chinese news), and get a fresh passage on the spot, so practice keeps pace with you instead of the other way around.

Reading across HSK 1 through 6

HanRead's library and its word data are organized by HSK level, from HSK 1 basics up through the new HSK 7–9 band, so the words you're tapping and the grammar you're asking about are tagged to where they actually sit on the standard scale — not just "beginner" or "advanced."

How the practice loop works

Read a leveled text

Pick a story from the built-in library, with pinyin, translations, and tappable words ready to go.

Generate a new text, on demand

Choose a topic, pull from real Chinese news, or build a text around a grammar point you're studying. Finished a story? Continue it easier, the same level, or harder, instead of hunting for the next graded reader.

Get the grammar behind it

Ask for an explanation of any sentence's grammar point in plain English, right where you're reading it.

Watch your level move

A reading streak and an HSK level indicator on your profile keep the practice loop visible, not abstract.

Questions about HSK practice

How does the level-matched text generation work?

Two related tools: generating a brand new text at a topic and level you choose, and continuing an existing story at an easier, equal, or harder level once you've finished it. Both are limited per month on the free plan.

Does this replace official HSK exam prep?

No — HanRead is a reading practice tool, not an exam simulator. It's built to keep you reading real sentences at your level, alongside whatever exam prep you're doing.

Can I practice a specific HSK level on purpose?

Yes — words and lessons carry an HSK tag, and the AI continuation feature lets you deliberately choose the level of what you read next.
