Even with my (and my co-workers) very detailed questions, Claire answered ALL of our detailed questions! I am able to go back and immediately implement EVERYTHING I learned today. The workbook to follow along with the presentation was SUPER! Hands-on parts with the packet were on point!

I loved that the presentation was interactive! I liked being able to try things in real time. It was great to learn about the updates and shortcuts. Loved learning how to use each program and how to combine them to meet a student's individual needs. I love Read Live. It has made such a huge, positive difference in so many of my students' lives. I love sharing this program with my colleagues. It brings tears to my eyes to think of how happy the students are when they realize they can read! Thank you!

I loved being able to login & practice. After 3 years of using Read Live, this is my first professional development course. Before today I was self taught. I learned so much.

It was engaging the entire time. The change between hands-on was nice. There are a lot of great features I didn't know about that will be very useful!

Everything was explained in an easy to follow format. The hands-on directions were so thorough. I can't wait to start tomorrow, I feel 100% ready to use the program. I thought the presentation was great, you covered all important areas and it flowed very nicely.

Nicely done! Pacing was good, content covered well, and done with a lot of positive energy. I plan to implement Word Warm-ups Live for my 6th grade students.

Wonderful! I have watched the training online but this took me deeper and with much more info than I thought there was and so much more I needed to know. I'll see my 5th graders on Monday. Lookout! It's a whole new class!

The presentation was great. Claire is funny! Pacing of info was good. I've been using Read Naturally for a while but I learned so many new little tips to use. Plus, it's so helpful to learn about data mentor.
