Good Luck.
A new project to help English learners with their [reading / literate] skills may soon be under way, if the developers can reach their [founding / funding] target. The proposed concept is a [serial / series] of "multiple-path" story books [in / on] which the reader can [choose / choice] the direction of the story. Unlike conventional novels that are [linear / lined] , multiple path stories provide the reader with options [regarding / regarded] where they want the story to go. It is the brainchild of teacher and author Marcos Benevides. He said: "The stories combine all the [enjoyable / enjoyment] of traditional 2nd-person multi-path stories with the [access / accessible] language that developing readers need, all in a high-quality package that appeals to adults as well as to [adventurous / adventures] kids."

The project hopes to [revive / receive] funding from the Kickstarter.com website. This site is a new way to fund creative projects. Since its [launch / launched] in 2009, 4.8 million people have [plagued / pledged] $793 million, funding 48,000 creative projects. Thousands of creative projects are [currently / present] raising funds on Kickstarter. If [success / successful] , Mr Benevides' project will be one of the first, if [not / now] the first, English language teaching projects to [let / get] going using Kickstarter. Benevides said: "The plan is to launch the first three titles on January 1st, then one [par / per] month after that. By the end of 2014, we hope that the series will have become [self-sustaining / self-sustenance] . If that happens, we will continue producing new titles [indefinitely / definitely] ."
