Teacher Appreciation Week officially begins today. Let's celebrate with a bunch of free resources for you. These resources include phonics games, vocabulary exercises, cue cards to help emerging readers with visually confusing letters, a system for mastering the most frequently misspelled words, and more--all free!

What is the number one thing on nearly every teacher's wish list? We've worked with teachers for over 30 years, and the answer is always the same.

Congrats to our May Star of the Month for the 2023-2024 school year, Jade! Jade is a seventh-grade student at Evergreen Middle School in Metamora, OH, who has made consistent progress in Read Live. Here is what Jade's teacher, Ms. Nofziger, had to say about her:

Hundreds of One Minute Reader books recently made their way across the world to Kenya, Africa, where kids are using them to learn to read in English. When the team at Read Naturally learned about the work of Joanne Friday, a former teacher who now does mission work with orphans in Kenya, we offered her a large donation of One Minute Reader books (30 boxes of materials in all) to bring to the kids there.
