What is the benefit of having students work in Read Naturally individually?
One of the greatest strengths of the Read Naturally strategy is that it is an individualized program. Each student begins at an appropriate reading level and progresses at his or her own rate. This powerful benefit of working individually is exemplified as each student:
- Works in material that is at an appropriate level — never too easy nor too difficult.
- Works independently and therefore does not have to wait or continue practicing already mastered stories while less able students are still working to pass.
- Can take as much time as needed to master a story.
- Progresses through reading levels at his or her own pace.
- Stays more on task without the distractions that working with other students can sometimes cause.
