I have used Read Naturally for the past 20 years and have loved the development of the online program! The program incorporates the components of the teaching of reading from phonemic awareness to Inferential Comprehension. It is most effective when the teacher and student are really working together with intent. The visual graphing needs to be looked at together and discussed to help with motivation and with rigor even written expression skills can be taught and assessed, I can differentiate and individualize the program for any skill level as is essential for any Special Education teacher. The data available is so useful for data-driven intervention planning. The stories are varied and of generally high interest which is also greatly appreciated! Well done over all these years, Read Naturally!

Read Live is a fantastic program to build reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing with students. Our school uses it daily and the students make gains in all areas mentioned. It's easy to use and a predictable routine for the kids. The non-fiction stories are varied and interesting. The Read Naturally website has lots of resources for teachers and students. I highly recommend this program!

Read Live is excellent and we use it a lot to support our weak readers, EAL students who need phonics support and dyslexics. It helps students to speed up their reading, improve comprehension and improve their vocab and is an all-round support for all reading issues. We use it with all ages from year 2 up to year 13 and it is a bedrock of our support system for literacy.

Read Live had been a great resource and program to engage and empower my students in their reading skills! This programs encompasses vocabulary, phonics, fluency and comprehension. I love how it assesses where students are at and provides engaging content that targets needed skills! My students develop their phonics skills through Word Warm-ups and the phonics series in Read Naturally Live. My older students work to develop their vocabulary and oral reading fluency. They love checking their progress on the graphs and setting goals for themselves in their learning. Read Naturally has become such a staple in my classroom!

My Reading students get so much bang for their buck with the Read Naturally program. In addition to fluency practice, my students get comprehension, vocabulary, as well as phonics word work in a minimal time commitment. Thank you!
Read Live
My intervention students use the program daily. They love it, and I love the reading gains they are making. Thanks to Read Live, our students can put all their developing skills together to practice everything from phonics and vocabulary to fluency and comprehension. Our entire Learning Disabilities Intervention team uses it and suggests it to others. What I think the students love the most about the program is watching their progress on the chart that shows their cold reads versus their hot reads after repeated practice. It motivates them to work hard and then feel success.
