Read Naturally's Next-Generation
Reading Intervention

Read Naturally is proud to introduce Read Live, a comprehensive set of research-based programs that assesses reading and engages students with a motivating curriculum that supports fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and phonics. With Read Live, educators can easily differentiate instruction to meet the needs of a wide range of students, from first grade to adult.

Read Live’s powerful web technology platform allows administrators the option of easily deploying it on one computer or across an entire district. Students can use Read Live at home, under the direction of their teachers and with the support of their parents. For schools implementing a Response to Intervention (RTI) program, Read Live is an ideal standard protocol intervention for students served in Tier 2 and Tier 3.

Read Live includes Benchmark Assessor Live for screening students for overall reading proficiency and our newest fluency intervention program, Read Naturally Live, which is based on the same powerful strategies used in Read Naturally Masters Edition and Software Edition.

Advantages of Read Live

Read Live offers customers a number of advantages:

  • Lower implementation costs: Since Read Live is a web-based program, all software and content is hosted on Read Naturally's computers. Customers just need a web browser with Adobe Flash support. There's no other hardware or software to set up, install, or maintain.
  • Simplified pricing: Schools pay one price for each student and receive access to all 13 of our Sequenced Series levels (focused on fluency-development) and all 6 of our Phonics Series levels (focused on fluency with an emphasis on phonics/decoding).
  • Assessment tool included: For each Read Naturally Live seat purchased, Read Live includes 30 seats of Benchmark Assessor Live. So for the price of enrolling one student in Read Naturally's proven reading intervention, you can screen an entire class of students.
  • Streamlined administration: Read Live makes it easy to centrally manage students throughout a school or district. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can transfer students to another school, change the grade or teacher for a group of students, or make students who have graduated from the program inactive so their seats are available to new students.
  • More privacy: Read Live includes new options for administrative and support roles, enabling you to limit access to student data to only the people who need it.

Read Naturally Live

Read Naturally Live is a new and improved web-based implementation of Read Naturally's highly effective fluency intervention. Read Naturally Live also supports vocabulary development and promotes comprehension. Our powerful strategy that combines teacher modeling, repeated reading, and progress monitoring is now even more engaging with many new features:

  • A new Wordtastic vocabulary game that actively engages students in vocabulary development while they wait for their teacher at the Cold Timing and Pass steps.
  • An optional Spanish read along for many Sequenced series stories that supports native Spanish speakers by tapping into their background knowledge and exposing them to the story content in Spanish before they begin reading along and practicing the same story in English.
  • Audio for the third read along that models an expressive rate for some levels.
  • New and updated stories at some levels.
  • Expanded phonics lessons in Phonics levels with updated word lists for practice.
  • Upgraded and revised comprehension questions
  • Additional vocabulary words, definitions, and illustrations.
  • New photo illustrations for all stories.

Benchmark Assessor Live

Benchmark Assessor Live is an oral reading fluency assessment for screening students for overall reading proficiency and identifying students who may need an intervention. Educators administer the assessment three times a year to track students' progress and compare their scores to national norms. Benchmark Assessor Live includes three field-tested passages for each grade level (grades 1-8).

Technical Support

To ensure proper implementation, all Read Live subscriptions include full technical support for the educational institution that purchased the subscription, over the life of the subscription. Support includes online documentation, e-mail support, and phone support (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time).
