A student is ready to leave Read Naturally Live when he or she can read unpracticed, grade-level material at a rate that is at least at the 50th percentile of national norms.
Because Read Naturally Live students read along with audio recordings of the stories and practice each story multiple times, their levels and goals in Read Naturally Live do not reflect the level and rate at which they read unpracticed material. So, in Read Naturally Live, a student needs to work in material that is at least half a year to one year above his or her grade level before he or she is ready to leave the program.
Use a benchmark assessment tool to determine whether a student has met his or her long-term fluency goal.
