Intervention Programs

I teach 7th and 8th grade students who are reluctant readers and have difficulty with grade-level materials. They are using ReadLive passages at their level as a supplement to a structured literacy program, and are making great progress. The stories are high interest non-fiction, so not only are they expanding their knowledge base and becoming smarter, but they are also enjoying themselves. Their fluency has improved so much with the focus on reading in phrases and repeated practice. I almost cried when one of the 'cool' kids told another student, "just do it, it works!" The visuaI graph for cold/hot reading scores gives them immediate feedback as well, always a plus and great to use for data collection to report to parents and teachers. I am so proud of my students and love the program!

I used to teach kindergarten and loved the informational passages for my early readers. Now in 3rd grade dual I have loved having access to passages in both languages I teach. This program helps my students stay engaged in reading while I work with small groups. There are so many great things I could say about this program.

Read Live is the program that allows me to continue to provide remedial reading services to a variety of students simultaneously. I am able to have a group of 8-10 students on level 0.8- 3.5 within the same timeframe. Since the blueprint for most stories & questions are similar, students are not embarrassed of their level. Students are thrilled when they complete a story and are able to choose another. The visual for CWPM is also exiting when students meet or exceed their goal. It is interesting to see students choose a story that is in line with core curriculum topics. The crossword puzzles also provide an additional level of vocabulary for students.

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.

Read live is easy to use and builds students reading fluency, comprehension, and writing skills. The lessons are interesting and keeps students engaged. The immediate feedback helps you progress monitor continually .

I have used many different reading programs over the years in teaching both general and special education. I find that Read Naturally Live online is amazing in both student engagement but also for great data records. The students like the interesting facts they learn about and it gives me the opportunity to increase rigor by requiring full sentence responses, complete paragraph summaries and high points vocabulary practice. Then there is the added bonus of a colorful visual progress set of data for the students to see and find motivation from. The questions are useful for identifying types of comprehension issues which I can use for informing IEP development.

Our school has been using Read Naturally for 20 years! It's a vital intervention piece of our Title Program.
The students really enjoy seeing their reading progress and it motivates them to challenge themselves.
The stories are interesting and engaging which helps with reading success!

Read Naturally has helped even our most reluctant readers gain confidence, fluency, and comprehension skills. We use it as part of our Reading Intervention program, and have seen amazing results. We love Read Naturally!

I am a grade 5/6 Special Education Teacher. I have been using Read Naturally for 6 years. I love the programs!! This year I am using both Read Live and Word Warm-ups with my students. I have 1 group using Read Live for fluency and comprehension focus, while another group is working at the decoding level, using Word Warm-Ups for independent practice. The students not only love using the programs for their reading, but they love being able to see their progress. It makes them very excited to continue improving their reading.

I am using Read Naturally as an intervention with 3rd and 5th grade students. Read Naturally Live with the phonics component added is a great way to get students to work on comprehension, fluency, and phonics. Students like getting to choose the stories too.

Read Live has been an asset to my classroom in supporting my students to reach their fluency goals! Students enjoy tracking their data and reaching their goals! They receive immediate and specific feedback!
