The Spanish version of Read Naturally Live was released this past weekend, and is now available to all Read Live users at no additional cost.
Read Naturally Live—Español utilizes the highly-effective, research-based Read Naturally Strategy to develop the literacy skills of multi-lingual readers. This mostly independent reading program supports native Spanish speakers to develop their Spanish reading fluency while developing general reading skills with Spanish texts; the program may be used before or while a student learns to read in English. The program also helps native English speakers or others to learn to read Spanish text fluently as an additional language.
Check out the latest release notes for complete details on the new addition to Read Live.

I work with the parents and students -- 9th to 12th grades -- most with Spanish as their first language; however, they are not fluent Readers or Writers and their vocabulary is very limited. Most of the students come from high poverty, low education families. Most are Refugees from Central American Countries and Mexico. I am bilingual, fluent in both English & Spanish working mainly with Parents in Supporting them to motivate their children. Our ESL Teachers struggle with many students who have a poor Academic Spanish vocabulary; therefore, teaching them an Academic English Vocabulary is often a challenge.
