These fun classroom games include Bang, Beginning/Middle/Ending Sounds, Last One Standing, Memory, and What's Missing. The free printable cards can be used for multiple games.

Read Naturally GATE+ is your complete phonics toolkit for the whole classroom! Students master phonemic awareness, phonics, and high-frequency words while developing fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Scripted lessons aligned with the Science of Reading make teaching these essential skills easy and effective for any educator.
Based on the Science of Reading, Word Warm-ups Live delivers structured, sequential phonics instruction in an engaging, game-like format. Audio-supported phonics and word analysis lessons allow for individualization and enable students to work independently on the phonics skills they need to develop.
I appreciate that there is a phonics based series of stories. The sequence of exercises for all the Read Naturally Live lessons is excellent and students can visually see their reading rate improve with repeated readings. My students have made great progress with this program and I have appreciated using Read Live with the students who really needed this level of support. It's easy to print the story that students pick to send home with them for extra repeated reading practice at home too.
Read Live for Phonics
I am a Title 1 teacher and have used Read Naturally Live with my 1st through 5th grade students for 7 years. I have seen tremendous growth in reading fluency and confidence across the board. The students and I find the stories interesting and engaging. I love that there are up to 24 stories to choose from in the sequenced stories. The phonics series of stories are perfect for the students who are working on decoding, and the program really aligns with the science of reading. I love being able to make individual changes within each child's program, adjusting their personal goals, the reading speed of their read along, whether or not to include the prediction or retell, and how many times I would like them to read along and practice a story or word list. The program takes care of my record keeping, and it is easy to print reports for parents or for when I need detailed information about a child's reading progress. The One Minute Reader and Word Warmups program are equally good. I am a big fan of Read Naturally Live, and highly recommend it for Title 1 programs.
Read Live for Phonics
Read Live has been a miracle program for our students! We are a Title 1 school, and so oftentimes, we have 40% or more of our students in reading intervention programs. It is so easy to put students into Read Live and know that they will grow, whether they need the phonics support from the word lists or the fluency and comprehension growth from the upper levels. It is also easy for our instructional assistants to learn the program and have no prep required. Students love the program, too, because the stories are so interesting to them--they can learn about real life: animals, people and events in history, places around the world. I love how it gives them background knowledge and sparks their curiosity to learn more. We love this program so much that we ordered Gate+ to help our younger students because it follows many of the same steps, just in a direct instruction manner that prepares them for the independently structured Read Live program.

Read Live has been lovely, it's Read Naturally Live, Word Warm-ups Live, One Minute Reader Live, cover all the basics, vocab, phonics, sight words, reading fluency, and comprehension. No bells and whistles, just a great learning experience that is best done with a teacher, however students can also work independently on parts of it. I pray my district adopts it not only for my SPED students, but for the elementary as well, the students would all benefit. Thanks for the introductory offer, I was able to get some of my students started on a road to reading better.

I have been using Read Naturally for years and I am a big fan. I love the fact that it hits so many target areas all in one program; decoding, encoding, fluency, vocabulary, writing, concrete and inferential thinking .... I also really like the data that I can use when writing progress notes on the student's ability in each of those areas. It is good, concrete data that I can share with parents and coworkers. I plan to keep using this program for years!
Read Live for Phonics
Read Naturally Live is an excellent online reading program to build phonics skills and fluency ability in students. I use it with my students with reading disabilities and have seen outstanding growth in reading achievement with all learners. The students love reading non-fiction stories and learning new things while reading. They also enjoy learning vocabulary words while waiting for a teacher to help them pass the story. I highly recommend using Read Naturally Live to support reading achievement.
