RN Bookmark

Back to All Posts

In 1991, the term “World Wide Web” had not been coined yet. People went to the library to get information, and news of companies and products spread via word-of-mouth and flyers in the mail, not websites or social media. This was the climate in which Candyce and Tom Ihnot founded Read Naturally, a small business dedicated to helping struggling readers achieve fluency.

Rarely does the fast-paced momentum of the school year allow for time to pause and look back. But as the 2015-2016 school year draws to a close, we’re going to do just that—RN Bookmark style. Here is a list of our top ten blog posts of the year.

Register now for May’s free webinar, Appy Hour—Expand Your Digital Toolbox with Instructional Apps, presented by Heather Baptie and Terry Dobson of Links 2 Learning.

The inclusion of our Idioms series in the latest Read Live release is a significant upgrade to the program. Are you wondering why and how to take advantage of this new content? Here’s what you need to know:

We’re pleased to announce that our latest Read Live update, version 1.9, has gone live. This update is free for all Read Live clients and offers new content and a number of enhancements. If your students use the Read Naturally iPad app, you’ll need to download the latest version of the app from the iTunes App Store. Here are the main features of this update.

April's free webinar is Reading FAST or Reading WELL?—How Read Naturally Helps Develop True Reading Fluency. Literacy expert Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D., will discuss the important difference between reading fluency and reading rate. This webinar defines each of the key components in reading fluency and provides an overview of how the Read Naturally strategy effectively teaches each of the components of fluency.

This month's free 60-minute webinar is Funemics: Phonemic Awareness in 3D. Learn how Dance, Dickory Docks & a few Do-Re-Mis can teach phonemic awareness, a skill that eludes almost 25% of pre-readers. Get a deeper understanding of the research behind why and how we teach phonemic awareness, as well as a toolbox of concrete strategies to get started with Read Naturally’s Funēmics program. This webinar is presented by Funēmics author Andrea Peterson. Register here!

This month’s free 60-minute webinar is Read Live: Beyond the Basics I. Our educational consultant, Karen Hunter, will offer expert tips and tricks to help you make the most of your Read Live program.

We're delighted to offer a series of free webinars on a range of literacy instruction topics. We will provide one free webinar each month, from January through May.

This month, we’d like to highlight what makes our Read Naturally GATE (Group and Tutoring Edition) program so successful. Instead of telling you ourselves, we decided to ask an expert out in the field.
