Intervention Programs

I am huge fan of Read Naturally! I have used Read Naturally/Read Live for 16 years and cannot emphasize enough what a wonderful program it is for reading instruction for special needs students. The progress that made in my Resource Room is remarkable! Year after year, my students buy-in to Read Naturally because they feel successful in an area that they have traditionally struggled with for years. They become self-motivated to become stronger readers because they sense their own learning, in some cases for the first time ever. It is truly wonderful to witness! There are so many teachable moments that arise over the course of instruction using Read Naturally. As long as I am a teacher, Read Naturally will continue to be a cornerstone to my instruction.

As a Literacy Specialist and Intervention Coordinator, I love having an intervention resource dedicated to fluency! As our students grow their foundational skills, Read Naturally Live has been a great way to extend student growth and proficiency. The nonfiction stories are engaging and informative!

Read Live is a great program to help build fluency skills. I have seen Read Live help students become more confident readers.

We love Read Live at my school! We use it primarily for fluency intervention and see huge gains in student words per minute. Students look forward to reaching thier goals as they improve their fluency and comprehension. Teachers love the live data the program provides and watching students grow and achieve. We are so fortunate to use this program at our school.

My students love working in Read Live. This has helped them with fluency and work on comprehension skills. My students absolutely love seeing their weekly progress as the graphs increase as it is highly motivating and engaging. All the new components with phonics and one minute readers and technology have made the program even stronger.

I love the Read Live program and have seen so much growth with the special education students I teach. The stories are engaging and scaffolded for success. I like how there is independence built into the program. The students enjoy taking ownership of their growth in reading,

I have loved using Read Live in my Resource classroom!
This program has given me the data I need to address student's needs.
I also appreciate the program and how easy it is to individualize for each student.
I highly recommend this program!

As a Reading Interventionist, my school was struggling to find a program that both built fluency as well as reading comprehension for our 5th-8th graders. Read Live to the rescue! We are seeing many of our at risk students show huge growth in their reading comprehension. The program has high interest stories at each level. Students get to choose what stories they would like to read. I should also add - the training we received from Read Live was extremely helpful to us.

We've seen lots of growth in the older students using read naturally as an intervention. It really helps with comprehension and fluency.

We love Read Naturally Live! I have used Read Naturally for 20 years. I started with the paper copies. The live version makes my life so much easier. I like that each student is at their individual instructional level. The reports are great and informative. All around a great program that shows results!!

My students are enjoying this program so far! It's really helping them to read better!

Although I cannot speak for the rest of my coworkers, I love Read Live. I have seen a big leap in how my students read. Their scores are going up and even improved on their state testing. I have used Read Naturally in the past and have loved how quickly, with daily practice, my students improved.

I have used Read Live for many years now. It is an outstanding program for building fluency! The stories are engaging — any many times I have said of a tidbit of information……I learned that in a Read Live story! When the students buy into the program the results are amazing!

I work with academic intervention teachers to serve the foster youth students in our school district. Since last year, Read Naturally has been a valuable resource to improve and strengthen their reading skills. I love how the students can practice keywords while working on comprehension and sentence writing. It has become my first choice for reading sessions.

I'm a new teacher and I just started using One Minute Reader and I love it so far. I do hot and cold reads for my students. I'm a fist year special education teacher. I'm interested to explore more of what this program has to offer. After exploring your website, it seems like you guys have a lot of good progress monitoring tools and data tracking. One of the data tracking pages I got from your site was to do the hot and cold reads, it's been a good help with keeping my students engaged in their progress and areas to grow in.

I have been using Read Naturally for three years now. My students love it and I have seen great improvement in them. It is a win, win for everybody!

I tutored a student with reading disabilities and she was 3 years below her reading grade level. She did not like the hands-on, multisensory methods of other research-based reading programs, so I introduced her to Read Naturally's online reading program. Since she loves technology, I thought this would be a good fit. She not only liked the online learning and engaging lessons of Read Naturally, she LOVED it! In 6 months, she increased her reading level by two years because she enjoyed interacting with the program so frequently. Her parents were astounded! I highly recommend the online program for students who may not enjoy the structured literacy approach of other programs.

Read Live has been such a great tool to help build the fluency and comprehension of my special learners utilizing high interest texts! I love knowing we are working at their appropriate instructional level based on the placement test and my students love their time on Read Live.

The suite of tools that Read Live offers are so instrumental in supporting students on their journeys to become proficient readers. We couple Word Warm Up Live with Read Live Sequenced Stories to allow students to build their accuracy, fluency, expression, & comprehension abilities while continuously strengthening fluency with decoding at the word level. At my last school site Read Live became an essential part of our strong K-3 Literacy program and the Read Live model we used has now spread to other campuses within that district. I, happily, took Read Live with me to my new district site where we are building our program from the ground up and already seeing success. I encourage all campuses to consider Read Live and its many tools as an element for your reading program. Helpful at all tiers of instruction, Read Live is a tool I won't live without as a reading specialist.
