How do I know if my Read Naturally ME cassettes or audio CDs have the latest audio?
To determine whether your Read Naturally Masters Edition cassettes or audio CDs have the most recent version of the audio, perform these steps:
Step 1: Does your audio CD or cassette have a copyright date of 2002 or earlier printed on it? If so, you do not have the most recent version of audio. Please contact us for a replacement audio level.
Step 2: Check the back of your blackline master. On blackline masters printed after 2005, there is a code on the bottom of the back cover. The first part of the code is the product number, and the second part is the print date. For example, the code “1010 – 05/07” means that the product number is RN1010 (Masters Edition Level 1.0), and the print date was May 2007. This print date corresponds with the version of audio that it accompanies. Please refer to the chart below for the last revision date of audio. If the print date on your blackline master is before the date listed below, you do not have the most updated version of the audio. Please contact us for replacement discs or a replacement level.

Step 3: If your blackline master does not have a code printed on the back; it means that it was printed in 2005 or earlier; and therefore the audio is from before 2005 as well. Using the chart above; identify when the last update was made to your level. If the last update to your level was made after 2005; you do not have the most updated version. Please contact us for replacement discs or a replacement level.
