Some levels include an optional Spanish read along of each story. By default, this feature is turned off. You may want to enable the Spanish read along if you have native Spanish speakers who are learning to read in English. Reading along to the Spanish translation first may help them better understand the English version.
The English Read Along step is available in Read Naturally Live–Español stories, allowing students working in Spanish content to hear an English version of each story before the Spanish one.
To enable the Spanish or English read along steps:
- Open the Story Options page:
- From a student's workstation, click Teacher at the top of the page. Use your credentials to log into the Teacher Menu, and then choose Change Story Options on the left side of the page.
- In the Staff Member Module:
- Choose Student Activity from the navigation menu.
- Select the student(s) whose options you need to change using the checkboxes on the left side of the page.
- Choose the Application-Specific Actions button on the top of the page.
- In the side menu, choose Read Naturally Live or Read Naturally Live-Español.
- Choose Change Story Options for Selected.
- To turn the Spanish or English read along on or off:
- In the Staff Member Module, under Read Along, check the Supplemental Read Along box.
- In the Student Module, under Read Along, change Spanish Read Along or English Read Along from OFF to ON.
- Click Save or Save & Close.
