Software Edition v2.1.2 Update
This page provides information about the 2.1.2 update for Read Naturally Software Edition. We strongly recommend that all customers who purchased and received previous versions of SE Network Plus v2.1 and SE Stand-Alone v2.0.x download and install this free update.
About the Update
The primary focus of the changes in the Read Naturally SE 2.1.2 update is to accommodate our new Spanish curriculum. In addition, this update allows our stand-alone customers to take advantage of all of the improvements implemented in the Network Plus release (SE 2.1.x), including an improved placement program and more curriculum choices. This update also includes improvements requested by our customers, fixes for problems discovered after SE Network Plus 2.1 was released, and all fixes and improvements included in previous releases (SE 2.1 and SE 2.1.1).
For more details about the update, see the SE 2.1.2 release notes.
