Do you know a student who wastes independent reading time because it isn’t fun? Do you wish you knew how much (or if) a student really read during independent reading? One Minute Reader books and CDs make independent reading fun with exciting, short passages and constant feedback that motivates students to read again and again. Be prepared for students who want to show off their progress graphs.
Read Naturally offers One Minute Reader materials for a school-to-home checkout program. Students check out One Minute Reader books and audio CDs and then write on separate record sheets instead of writing in the books themselves. This system allows schools to use the books multiple times.

One Minute Reader accelerates reading achievement by combining the research-proven components of the Read Naturally Strategy: teacher modeling, repeated reading, and progress monitoring. The reader works at his or her own pace in a full-color book. The reader works through the steps and masters each story by reading along with audio and then practicing the story until he or she can read it fluently and with comprehension. The reader tracks progress on a graph.

Research basis for the Read Naturally Strategy

Each level is packaged in a bundle with additional resources for home or school checkout. The prices are per bundle.

"I love One Minute Reader. It is easy to use and I can see improvement in my students."
— Sara, Special Education Teacher, Louisville, KY
"One Minute Reader was purchased to send home with my students because it provides the practice that they so desperately need. Parent support is not always available to my students. One Minute Reader requires very little of the parents' time. The students love competing against themselves. The feedback from parents has been very positive."
— Joyce, Title 1 Teacher, Hummelstown, PA
Thank you for the feedback, Veronica. It was a very difficult decision to discontinue our One Minute Reader iPad apps. Unfortunately, continuing to maintain these apps to accommodate Apple’s regular changes to iOS became too burdensome for our team to manage. Moving to a web-based application rather than iPad apps has allowed us to provide a much more reliable and complete set of reading tools for our customers. We do all we can to keep our costs low, knowing how important it is to ensure high-quality tools are available for all struggling readers.
Thank you for your understanding. I’m very glad to hear that you had years of successful use with the apps and hope you’ll reach out to us again if we can be of service.
Please let us know what questions you have so we can assist. For Technical Support, please call us or submit a software support request.
