The start of the school year is all about getting to know your new students—their personalities, their interests, and their individual needs. Determining which students need extra support in reading, and what that support should look like, are some of the most important decisions you’ll make this year. Thankfully, we’re here to help. Educators can choose from a number of reputable assessments to screen for reading concerns. From there, Read Naturally can help you interpret the data and choose the appropriate intervention.

Can't make it to one of our in-person Read Live Training Seminars? We just added a new remote option that will allow you to participate in real time from the comfort of your home—or anywhere! Register here to attend this training live via Zoom on September 22.

What is the number one thing on nearly every teacher's wish list? We've worked with teachers for over 30 years, and the answer is always the same.

For a developing or struggling reader, every minute in the classroom is precious. The same is true for busy teachers. A student will make the most improvement—and a teacher will be the most effective—when the student is on the individualized learning path that best meets their needs....

What kind of learning can happen on the first day of school? Naturally, students will learn who you are, the rules of your classroom, and where to put their materials. Our hope is that they will do some effective work toward their literacy goals too. Is it realistic to expect this on day one? With One Minute Reader Live, it certainly is!

Ready or not, school is starting soon. For many teachers, that means you’re just getting used to waking up later, feeling rested, and hopefully enjoying some travel. But in the back of your mind you’re also thinking about your classroom, your students, and your lesson plans.

If you’ve ever had questions about how certain phonics sounds should be pronounced, our Audio Examples of Phonics Sounds page is your new best friend. This page includes an audio demo of the phonics sounds and patterns you and your students will come across in phonics instruction and assessment. It’s also a handy guide to interpreting those breves (˘), and macrons (−).

Word Warm-ups Live, included in all Read Live subscriptions, helps students solidify the phonics skills they need in order to become fluent readers. Individualized assessment allows for differentiated instruction for each student—meeting individual needs. While all students in the class are working on phonics at the same time, each student is working on specific skills identified by the assessment. This program is highly customizable and works well in a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS).

We want to make sure Read Naturally programs are available wherever they’re needed. If you’ve run into restrictions when looking to purchase our programs, or if you’re aware of any lists we should be on, we’d love to hear from you.

Our goal has always been to accelerate reading achievement, and that means providing high-quality tools to all students—not just those who need to build fluency. Here’s how our offerings have grown to address more than just fluency:
