Intervention Programs

I have used Read Live for years. As an Orton Gillingham Reading Intervention Specialist in middle and high school, I find Read Live especially beneficial for those students who have mastered phonics and are at the stage of generalizing learned skills into the content area subjects. I like that there are various topics at each level. This helps keep students interested and choose topics relevant to their learning. I love that the teacher has flexibility in altering each student's program settings. For example, I have a student with very high comprehension but low fluency. I limit the amount of comprehension activities he has to do and increase the fluency and repetition drills. I feel it is essential for the teacher to be involved with the students' learning and sit alongside them as they interact with the program. However, the program does lend itself nicely to independent work when appropriate. Finally, the program's data is extremely valuable for IEP goal writing and progress monitoring.

As a special education teacher, I’ve found Read Live: Read Naturally to be a highly effective tool for supporting students with reading difficulties, especially those with learning disabilities or who require targeted intervention. The program’s structured, predictable routine is a great fit for students who benefit from consistency and clear expectations. Its combination of modeled reading, repeated practice, and comprehension questions helps build fluency, confidence, and understanding over time. I appreciate how the program allows for individual pacing, which is crucial in a special education setting, and the progress monitoring features make it easy to document growth and adjust instruction as needed. With proper scaffolding and teacher support, Read Naturally has made a noticeable difference in my students’ reading development.

My students love the Read Live program. The program is engaging for all levels of readers. I also appreciate that the students also have access to the supplemental program, One Minute Reader. I have students that chose to do "extra reading" at home with the One Minute Reader program because they enjoy it so much.

Thank you for creating such engaging programs for my readers.

This was my first year being introduced to the program and using it. I was blown away by the visible progress a student can make just by using the program. It has allowed me to redesign my time with students and provided me much sought after data to support ongoing intervention. The flip side it provides data that a student has graduated to just general education supports. Thank you for such a great product!

As a district reading interventionist, we have been using Read Live for a number of years with great success. The classroom teachers we introduce the program to are happy with the ease of use, the progress kiddos make, and the feedback.

I have used Read Naturally with students to address fluency goals. Students gain confidence and skills using this program.

This is my first year at the charter school I work with I E P students and I'm very happy with this program. My kids have improved so much from the beginning of the year until now and they have so much confidence that they participate more in class answering questions and wanting to read out loud. I push for the kids I work with to be on it everyday. I've seen great improvement.

I love Read Live!!! I hear students at the school I work at just saying how they love Read Naturally. They love that some of them struggled with reading and now they are reading.

This program has motivated my 3rd and 4th grade struggling readers. ALL OF THEM ARE SHOWING GROWTH!

Hi!
I absolutely love read naturally! I use it one to two times a week for my reading intervention classes. I've seen huge improvements in reading abilities of my students at the middle school, some have come up an entire grade level in a year!
Thank you.

I have seen an amazing amount of growth from my reading group this year. My students have learned to slow down their reading and focus on the quality of the words they are reading rather than trying to read enough words to pass the level as quickly as possible. I have one student who has increased his reading dramatically on testing. He went from a kindergarten reading level to a second grade reading level on state testing within a few months of starting the program. My students now look for context clues when reading any passage and are able to better sort out main idea and supporting details.

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.

As an intervention teacher, I’ve been consistently impressed with the impact your Read Live program has had on my students. They are highly engaged during sessions, and the structure of the program keeps them motivated and focused.

Since implementing it, I’ve seen significant gains in fluency, reading comprehension, and written expression. The repeated reading and built-in comprehension checks provide the consistency and practice my students need, while also allowing for meaningful progress monitoring.

This program has become an essential part of my literacy intervention toolkit, and I truly value how it supports both student growth and independence.

We started using Read Live with our first grade students in January, and the growth we've seen has been nothing short of amazing. Our students are begging to log in and read—they're genuinely excited about it! It's been so rewarding to hear them proudly share facts they've learned from their stories.

The structure of Read Live is easy for our students to follow, and the consistent routine has helped build their confidence. We've paired the program with an incentive chart in the hallway, and it’s been a great motivator. They absolutely light up when it’s their turn for testing day—they can’t wait to read with me!

One of the biggest benefits is the ability to challenge our high readers with out-of-grade-level texts. It’s wonderful to have a resource that supports all learners and fosters a love of reading across the board.

We highly recommend Read Live—it’s made a big impact in a short amount of time!

The implementation of Read Live this year has been transformative for both my ELA and intervention students. Their engagement with the content is remarkable, and the visible growth they experience fuels their motivation. I'm thoroughly impressed with the positive impact in my first year using the program.

Our 3rd graders are loving this program. Picking their own stories is giving them control that they don't normally get in reading groups. They are enjoying seeing their growth on the graph and are challenged by the questions.

We are very pleased with our Read Live. We Have used it in our district for many years and are pleased with our results. It not only tests comprehension but improves their fluency. We also use the Word Warm-ups with our younger students and have been very pleased with that as well. Thank you for a great product.

We use Read Live with our struggling and reluctant readers. The program has been very successful in improving their reading skills. The tracking of the program also motivates the students to beat their scores from the last session.

Read Naturally Live is a highly effective and engaging tool for supporting struggling readers. Its combination of structured lessons, self-paced learning, and comprehensive progress tracking makes it a valuable asset in any classroom. For students who need targeted interventions to improve reading fluency and comprehension, Read Naturally Live offers a well-rounded and accessible solution.

My alternative high school students love the program. It’s easy to use and not baby looking so I get their buy in. Besides that we have seen growth in our intervention students that use the program.
