This Spanish language version of Read Naturally Live develops the literacy skills of multilingual readers. Read Naturally Live—Español utilizes the highly effective, research-based Read Naturally Strategy on a web-based platform. 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 with Spanish-speaking students 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.
Read Naturally Live—Español is a Spanish version of Read Naturally Live that accelerates reading achievement by combining the research-proven strategies of teacher modeling, repeated reading, and progress monitoring. A student works at his or her own pace in an appropriate level of material. Text and audio (completely in Spanish) guide the student through the steps. The student masters a story by reading along with audio and then practicing the story until he or she can read it fluently and with comprehension. The program automatically tracks student progress.

We've been using Read Naturally Live for 3 years in our intervention program and have seen amazing growth in our struggling readers. The program is designed to be easily accessable to students and teachers, while having depth and breadth of instruction to keep students challenged as they grow in oral reading and comprehension. Our program has "graduated" many students back to their regular classroom as they reached grade-level fluency. Read Naturally Live is a wonderful tool to have in your intervention tool kit!
Very patent and supportive
My students thrive year after year with this program. I utilize a reward system to keep the motivation and excitement alive. My middle schoolers are seeing their progress and are proud of themselves and even clap for their friends when they achieve goals. If you fire it up before launching it and utilize the training videos for yourself and for your students (as a class), you will love it too! Keep it alive and it'll happen
I am a special education teacher and have used Read Naturally for the past 7 years. It is a wonderful reading tool and my students and I have seen a lot of growth in reading achievement. It is also a confidence booster, as my students are eager to read to me when they are ready to pass a story/lesson.
The nonfiction sequential texts in Read Live are generally very engaging, especially the ones about animals and strange historical events like the Molasses Flood. The students get a chance to see what a fluent reading pace sounds like and then can improve their reading pace significantly on their hot-timings--seeing how much their score improves is very motivating for them. Overall, I'm seeing at least a 30-word improvement per minute over the course of the year. I only see my students 3x per week for 15 minutes each session, so they've been able to do about 12 stories -- two are still in the same grade level they started in. With more time each week, I'm sure they'd improve even more. Read Live hits key strands of reading -- vocabulary, background knowledge, comprehension, and fluency. Students can work on vocabulary while they wait for the teacher to do their hot timing, they can go back and redo parts of the assessment before passing, and I can differentiate easily for each student. My students all enjoy coming to me and working hard in Read Live to meet or exceed their goals.
Read Live is such a good program. It does need a teacher to work with the students, but it also helps build their independence.
Read Live has helped my students gain more confidence with independently reading, thus helping their overall reading fluency scores. My favorite feature of Read Live is the Read Aloud, my students’ favorite part of Read Live is seeing their practice scores. I would recommend Read Live to others because it helps struggling readers with fluency, and also puts them on their level.

Many of the students using Read Live are from other countries and struggling readers. Now they are learning to read and comprehend. I would recommend Read Live because the stories are engaging and relatable.
Using Read Live, I have seen great growth in my students' oral reading fluency. My students enjoy the Read Live content. They loved seeing their growth when we did our DIBELS assessments, and they attributed it to Read Live. I would recommend Read Live to others as it has demonstrated to be an effective tool.
Read Live has really helped assist students who are just learning the sound out words, along with putting them together to form sentences, etc. My favorite feature of Read Live is the variety of stories that are given…super interesting!!
I have been using Read Naturally since 2012 and I have seen amazing results! I love how it hits all areas of reading. The stories are exciting and the students as well as the teachers learn new things everyday. In all the years that I have been using Read Naturally I have never had a student that didn't like the program.
It’s such a powerful program to build confidence and give kids the opportunity to feel the joy of independent reading!
