The implementation of Read Live this year has been transformative for both my ELA and intervention students. Their engagement with the content is remarkable, and the visible growth they experience fuels their motivation. I'm thoroughly impressed with the positive impact in my first year using the program.
Our 3rd graders are loving this program. Picking their own stories is giving them control that they don't normally get in reading groups. They are enjoying seeing their growth on the graph and are challenged by the questions.
We are very pleased with our Read Live. We Have used it in our district for many years and are pleased with our results. It not only tests comprehension but improves their fluency. We also use the Word Warm-ups with our younger students and have been very pleased with that as well. Thank you for a great product.
We use Read Live with our struggling and reluctant readers. The program has been very successful in improving their reading skills. The tracking of the program also motivates the students to beat their scores from the last session.
Read Naturally Live is a highly effective and engaging tool for supporting struggling readers. Its combination of structured lessons, self-paced learning, and comprehensive progress tracking makes it a valuable asset in any classroom. For students who need targeted interventions to improve reading fluency and comprehension, Read Naturally Live offers a well-rounded and accessible solution.
My alternative high school students love the program. It’s easy to use and not baby looking so I get their buy in. Besides that we have seen growth in our intervention students that use the program.
Great program! The resistant readers are more willing to use Read Live, since the stories are chosen by them, short and they get quick results/input on their progress. We are able to use the program for intervention, as well as reading practice for students at grade level.
I was skeptical about using this program at first thinking it would be another program to push on the students. I love that the students had independence to pick a story of interest. They also could independently talk to the computer and get feedback. The teacher features to turn certain features on and off to differentiate was awesome. I no longer work at the school that I used this program with but I wish I could use this with my current title 1 students and tutoring students. I don't have a personal budget to pay for it.
Read Live has made noticeable improvements for struggling readers, particularly in areas such as vocabulary development, fluency, reading comprehension, and written expression. The platform has been especially beneficial for our students in the reading lab, who have shown gradual but steady growth in their reading skills. It has provided a valuable resource for supporting struggling readers by offering a structured and engaging approach to learning.
In terms of preparation for high-stakes assessments, such as the STAAR test for grades 3rd through 5th, Read Live has proven to be a useful tool. It helps students develop essential reading skills and offers a solid foundation for the type of reading required in the assessment. Many students have found it helpful for honing their test-taking strategies and boosting their confidence for the exam.
However, it would be highly beneficial if the platform could integrate speech-to-text functionality. Several of our students rely on this accommodation to support their learning process, and its inclusion could further improve accessibility and allow these students to engage more fully with the content. This would enhance their ability to respond to reading exercises and assessments more effectively, making Read Live even more inclusive.
Overall, Read Live has been a valuable tool for students in grades 1st through 5th, and adding speech-to-text functionality could make it even more accessible and beneficial to a wider range of learners.
Speech-to-text tip! My students use Read Live on the iPad and the iPad keyboard has the microphone for speech to text. It's not perfect, but it has been helpful, especially with the time limits on the retells.
A Masterpiece book for Phonics.
My school has been using Read Live for 2 years now. We are seeing so much progress for our struggling readers in our 3rd - 6th grade classes! We are also able to use it for our primary advanced students during independent work stations. It is such a good tool that builds in fluency training, comprehension practice, and also vocabulary. Students are excited about the reading passages, and motivated by that blue and red bar graph! One of the best things I've seen happening is all of the data chats after a student's hot read. We have an individual reading conference that is targeted toward their specific needs. We are able to set goals for the next story, or do a small mini lesson for them to revisit their comprehension questions. The teacher dashboard is so easy to use, with lots of options to tailor make the students' reading experience.
I LOVE Read Naturally Live and Word Warm Ups!!! I use these with my 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. The nonfiction passages build background knowledge and vocabulary while working on fluency. I have had students’ families take vacations to places they learned about through RN! I appreciate how, as a teacher, I can make adjustments to the level and goals for each student. After the students work through the different steps of a story, I am able to conference with each student, listen to them read their story, and then talk about their answers to the comprehension questions. Students are so proud to see their progress in the charts provided.
This program is very easy to use, is research-based, and adaptable to each student’s needs. The support is fantastic! I can print letters and step-by-step guides to inform parents how the program works. Throughout the year, I can send home summary or detailed reports about their child’s progress. I am so appreciative that my school provides this resource for my students! It has truly made a difference!
As a veteran reading specialist of 21 years I can’t imagine doing my job without Read Live. I was recently at a conference where other reading teachers were expressing frustration with struggling to keep up on progress monitoring every two weeks. They had a hard time administering the assessments and entering/displaying the data. I am happy to say I couldn’t relate at all, thanks to Read Live! I always have fresh data and it’s never, ever a hassle thanks to RL:)
For students who are already automatic with grapheme/phoneme connections, and need more practice reading smoothly this product does a nice job.
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.
Michelle was very helpful, but I haven't used it with any students yet, so I can't comment on much. I'm looking forward to using it.
