"Read Live has increased fluency and comprehension for my reading students. For my students on the intensive side who are just beginning to read, Word Warm-ups Live is a great place to start. They enjoy being included in rotations and part of the class. Read Live provides the opportunity for just that"

—Tavie D., Special Education Teacher, Lower Kuskokwim ISD, AZ

"I have used Read Naturally, One Minute Reader and this year added GATE! This well rounded program has been effective in my Intervention Classes. I have used it with grades 1-3. However, if I need extra decoding practice for some of my 4th graders I pull a story. The nature of the topics of readings initiates conversations and questions that have lead us to search for more information online or in other sources. The program encompasses all important areas of literacy to include, HFW, phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency practice, comprehension and spelling works well in delivery for 30 minute groups. Also best customer service I have had! In less than 20 minutes I received needed material via email! That's service a busy teacher needs to depend on!"

—Eileen T., Title I Teacher, St. Peter Indian Mission School, AZ

"I am a special education teacher and I have used Read Live/Read Naturally for 15 years. It is a wonderful program. I have used it with middleschoolers and high schoolers. I currently teach 6-8. I love that I can circulate and work with 6 kids, on 6 different story topics and levels, on several different skills during the same time period. In my students with autism I've seen them developing the ability to infer from the surrounding passage. In my lowest level readers, I've seen fluency increase. All my students can create a five sentence paragraph story retell and I am seeing those writing skills carry over to their general education classes. In the past two years, we have gotten an influx 6th graders reading at the primer and 1st grade levels, and I would love to try Gate with these students."

—Nicole P., Special Education Teacher, Herscher Community USD, IL

Reading Live takes the stress off of meeting the needs of multiple struggling readers and maximizes reading time. Students can successfully work on their reading level while I support them. The stories available to the students are engaging and relevant. The data collected from the reports section is valid and is exactly what my district wants in data meetings. I just attended a Reading League training and this program is aligned with the Science of Reading. I am so thankful for this program and feel confident as a teacher that I am providing science-based practices to my reading instruction."

"Our district has been using Read Live for quite awhile. We first started with the paper copies and have been very please with the transition to the online version. I can confidently say that it is an outstanding tool for building reading fluency with students. The program is user friendly for both students and teachers. The students are able to work independently on enhancing their reading skills and then confirm their progress by directly working with their teacher. This aids in classroom management as well. The teacher can pull small groups while confidently knowing that their students on Read Live are actively engaged working on their IEP goals. The teacher can then switch which students are in their small group. Read Live makes data tracking easy for teachers. This data can be used to inform instruction and ensure that students are making progress. The reports have been a great tool to help students and teachers know how they are performing. Overall, we highly recommend Read Live!"

"My students love the real stories, which are often about items or individuals of interest, and often a real surprise. I had a reluctant reader in the 8th grade last year who loved reading about the Rolls Royce, and a 7th grader who loved the selection about inventing a toothbrush in a jail cell. Just this year, another 7th grader laughed out loud when reading about exploding toads. It was heartwarming for me to see his enjoyment. The best part for my students is knowing that the reading is something they are able to read AND it's super interesting!"

The ReadOhio Initiative puts new restrictions on educators in terms of curriculum selection. The 2024-2025 school year is described as a transitional year in the guidance provided by the Ohio Department of Education, and by the 2025-2026 school year, only curriculum approved by the Department of Education can be used for core and intervention programming. Read Live is currently being submitted for inclusion on the ReadOhio list of Approved Reading Intervention Programs. We fully expect Read Live to be included on the approved list when review process concludes in March 2025. In the meantime, Read Live can continue to be used as an intervention throughout this transitional year. Further, the Department of Education allows for research-based programs such as Read Live to be used as a supplement to core programming wherever it is deemed appropriate by the district, regardless of inclusion on the approved list.
