June 20, 2020:  Content Update 

A major update to Read Naturally Live content is scheduled for early morning on June 20, 2020.

Nearly every story across all levels will be affected by the update. As a result, stories not yet completed at the time of the update will be reset. Progress students have made in unfinished stories will be lost. Please try to have students finish their current story before the update on June 20, 2020. We apologize for this inconvenience. The data for completed stories will not be affected.

IMPORTANT: If images or audio for the old stories continue to appear on new stories after the update, you may need to clear the browser's cache. 

Read Naturally is committed to improving our program for you and your students. We are pleased to provide you with this refreshed Read Live content, which includes the following changes:

• Stories used in the placement process will no longer also be used in the curriculum set for each Sequenced level. New stories in each Sequenced level will replace the ones that were shared with the placement process, as follows:

  Level	Placement Story	Replacement Title
  Sequenced 1.0	Bears	Pink Lakes
  Sequenced 1.5	Giraffe	Words That Sound the Same
  Sequenced 2.0	Hot Air Balloons	Lake-Loving Loons
  Sequenced 2.5	Julie Krone	Tiny but Tough
  Sequenced 3.0	Kinkajou	A Look at the Liver
  Sequenced 3.5	Velcro	Figuring Out Fungi
  Sequenced 4.0	Spiral Island	GOLDen Teamwork
  Sequenced 4.5	A Marathon of Hope	Animals Serve Too
  Sequenced 5.0	Antoni Gaudi	Misery to Miracle
  Sequenced 5.6	The Hindenburg	Rats to the Rescue
  Sequenced 6.0	An Ellis Island Experience	Heroism in a Dark Time
  Sequenced 7.0	Machu Picchu	The Mysterious Nazca Lines
  Sequenced 8.0	Golda Meir	King George VI

• Additional revisions are being made to nearly every story across all levels. Most are minor edits, and others involve larger revisions or whole story replacement, including:
  • "Interesting Orchids" replaces "P. T. Barnum" in Sequenced Level 2.5
