Congratulations to Star Student Saydee P. from Mokelumne Hill, CA! Saydee is a sixth-grade student at Mokelumne Hill Elementary School. Saydee’s teacher, Mary Schoenthaler, had this to say about her:

What makes Sherlock Holmes such a great detective? Many would say it’s his remarkable attention to detail: Holmes doesn’t just climb a set of stairs; he knows exactly how many steps there are. Others would credit his ability to infer: Holmes is a master at interpreting subtle hints. And what about the way he connects information? Holmes can always piece together the clues needed to solve his case.

We've made some changes at www.readnaturally.com and I’d like to share some of the new pages. If you’re interested in Response to Intervention, Differentiated Instruction, or English Language Learners, you’ll find these resources extremely valuable.

Wouldn't that be wonderful! In reality, many students are impatient for your help. Fortunately, Read Naturally has a few tricks up its sleeve to keep your students engaged as they wait.

When students reach their goal on a Read Naturally story, they should read the story again, answer the comprehension questions, and continue practicing until you’re able to pass them. After completing these tasks, students should work on wait-time activities.

Congratulations to Star Student, Peyton Y., from Allen, TX! Peyton is a fourth-grade student at Evans Elementary School. Peyton’s teacher, Jen Parra, had this to say about her:

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) has made five recommendations for improving adolescent literacy, and Take Aim! at Vocabulary aligns with each of those recommendations. The five recommendations include:

As students work through Read Naturally stories, their progress monitoring graphs motivate them to put forth their best effort. From the beginning of the story to the end, motivation plays a key role. But this motivation shouldn't end with the story. How can you keep your students motivated to work through an entire level of stories, and the next level after that?

​Earlier this month, Seth S. from Dunlap, IL won our Star of the Month drawing. He was so excited to pick out books with his Barnes and Noble gift card.
