This video demonstrates how teachers or assistants conduct timed readings in Read Naturally Live for placement, cold timings, or hot timings. The video covers the mechanics of starting a timing, identifying errors, ending a timing, and rating expression. The video also offers an opportunity to practice identifying errors as a student reads.
This video explains how to place a student in Read Naturally Live with an appropriate series, level, and goal when the student needs to improve reading fluency but does not need phonics instruction.
This video explains the steps a student follows in Read Naturally Live. After selecting a story, the student works through these steps: Key Words, Prediction, Cold Timing, Wordtastic (a wait-time activity), Read Along (teacher modeling), Practice (repeated reading), Quiz, Retell, and a Pass step with a review of the student's results.
If a student does not meet all of the criteria for passing a story in Read Naturally Live, the software presents a number of options the teacher may choose for that student. This video explores what steps to take when a student does not pass.
Many of the steps in Read Naturally Live can be customized to fit the needs of individual students. This video demonstrates how you can turn off steps, allow independent cold readings, adjust the number of read alongs, and change the duration of practices and hot timings.
This video explains how to monitor students' performance and make adjustments to their programs to ensure that they are continually challenged. Tools for monitoring performance include graphs of fluency, comprehension, and retell results, and reports that show students' progress and problem areas.
This video demonstrates a waiting list of students who need a teacher's help to continue working, a Login As tool that allows a teacher to login as the student to conduct a timing, and Team feature that lets any Lead Teacher share access to students on the Waiting List with a Team of other Teachers and Read Live Assistants.
