Intervention Programs

I love this product! It engages students and helps in each area of reading while teaching them to be more independent. The students really enjoy seeing their before and after timing on the graph. It is also easy to implement for the teacher and easy to monitor progress.

Our district has implemented Read Live for two years. The feedback from teachers and students has been nothing but complimentary! Teachers are able to easily track and monitor progress and implement IEP goals with assistance from the program. We have also trained paraprofessionals to help increase the teacher workload and instruction. We are grateful for the ease and fidelity to support our students.

Read Naturally is a great way to integrate summer reading practice for kids! I can use it one on one to support gains, and it's easy to set up home practice so parents can help curb the summer slide.

I’ve used Read Live for the past 7 years. It has been exciting to watch students grow and achieve grade level reading skills after using this program. Students gain confidence as their fluency rate increases and their comprehension scores improve! Students are improving their overall reading abilities and they improve benchmark scores throughout the year! Being a reading intervention teacher using Read Live has been the most rewarding teacher experience! Thank you Read Naturally for helping my students learn to love reading!

I used the print Read Naturally (with cd's) in a school several years ago, and I saw great success. A couple of years ago, I asked for Read Live for my resource classes. In one semester, I saw students improve their fluency and increase their text difficulty level. I worry about over-using technology in the classroom, however, the students who use Read Live really enjoy it. They like being able to choose their story and work at their own pace. I use it twice a week in select groups. The students look forward to it as it is a mix of independent work and teacher interaction. The visual graphs help students understand where they are and where they need to work to get. Most importantly, though, is the growth in fluency and vocabulary.

This is my first time using Read Live. We’ve always used the paper version, but I’m really enjoying the online format. Students are much more engaged, and the content is tailored and individualized for each learner. We’re already seeing growth in our 5th graders as we progress monitor their fluency and accuracy.

Our students and teachers have responded very positively to the transition from our previous well-known reading program to Read Live. Both groups report that Read Live is more engaging, easy to navigate, and better aligned with students’ individual needs. Teachers appreciate the clear data, structured routines, and built-in supports that make progress monitoring more efficient. Students consistently share that they enjoy the format and feel more confident as they work through each passage. Overall, the switch to Read Live has been a noticeable improvement in both usability and student engagement.

Read naturally has been great to help my students improve fluency with high interest texts.

Read Naturally live has given my intervention students the skills and confidence to improve their reading year after year! Not only are my student's fluency and comprehension scores improving and closing gaps, but seeing my students cheer when they meet a goal or answer questions correctly has been so magical. I love that I can customize what my students are working on based on their ability and skill gaps, and each student feels empowered to work hard and grow. Additionally, having reports that I can share at data meetings or with families has helped me paint the picture of what my students can do and where we focus our efforts in and easily understandable way. I cannot recommend Read Naturally enough!

My students enjoy working with Read Naturally Live and Read Naturally Live-Español. I am able to meet a wide variety of student needs using both programs. All my students are second language learners and they are able to use both languages to make meaning and gain fluency and comprehension. The online component allows students to practice independently at home and in their homerooms for additional support.

The teachers and the students did not want any part of this program. I had used it many times in the past and I knew it could be a game changer for us. I begged teachers to just give it a chance for 5 weeks over ESY. We are now starting the school year on Monday and every teacher who gave this program a chance is now enthusiastic about getting to (not having to) use it for the school year. When a program can change the outlook of a second year teacher and a 25 year teacher and give hope to students with a reading disability, that program can only be Read Naturally.

Without Christy, we would have given up in week two. I think teachers appreciate when they see someone, who is like them, who is really going to bat for a program. Teachers almost feel like they have to give this program a chance because this person, who they can see themselves in, is fighting for it so fiercely. Christy was there for us at all hours, even though many of those hours were inconvenient for her. She always followed up with an email that gave resources the teachers could use that day. I was so thrilled to hear one of our teachers say in front of Christy, “It is so wonderful to hear my students reading!” I was so glad that Christy got to hear that feedback. She absolutely had a major role in making that happen. We are a very small charter school in a very poor section of Philadelphia. 99% of our students are free and reduced lunch and their families live below the poverty line. They do not have access to technology and many of their parents are not literate. I go into this new school year with hope because in the five weeks that we had read naturally, our students started reading. I ended up putting this program on my personal credit card because the school can’t afford it. That’s how much I believe in this program. This school year, I know we will see miracles great and small, and Read Naturally will play a major role in that. I will keep you all posted…

This is the best program to work on reading fluency. My school uses it every year with our students who get flagged for weaker fluency skills, and by the end of the year, they typically are no longer at risk. I appreciate how you can customize the settings to provide more support with short answer, retelling, repeat readings, or less support in these areas.

At Hamilton Elementary, we’ve seen incredible results with Read Live, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the impact it's had on our students. We originally introduced the program to support our intervention students, and the growth in their reading fluency was so impressive that we quickly decided to implement it across our entire third-grade level.

Now, every third grader in our school uses Read Live—and the progress has been nothing short of amazing. Nearly all of our students are reading more words per minute, showing stronger comprehension, and even developing better typing skills thanks to the online format. We’re seeing not just higher test scores, but more confident, motivated readers who are excited to track their own progress and challenge themselves.

Read Live provides structured, engaging, and research-based support that’s easy for teachers to manage and incredibly effective for students at all levels. The built-in progress monitoring makes it easy to celebrate growth, set goals, and tailor instruction. It has truly become an essential part of our literacy program.

If you're looking for a powerful tool to boost fluency and build confident readers, Read Live is it. We highly recommend it to any school serious about improving literacy outcomes!

We've seen a remarkable transformation in our students' reading abilities since implementing Read Live in our literacy intervention program. This program has proven to be an incredibly effective tool for improving both reading fluency and comprehension—two of the most critical components of literacy development.
It's easy to implement and monitor, while students are motivated by the clear goals and interactive format. For schools looking to boost literacy outcomes, Read Live is a proven solution that delivers measurable results.

I just started using Read Naturally Live this year! I could not be more impressed. The students' reading scores, oral reading, and comprehension scores are really improving. Students of all ages (mine grades 6-12) find it easy and enjoyable, so they have no problem completing the lessons.

Our district started using this program with our ESL population this year. We like that it covers a wide variety of grade levels and phonic levels. We also have some older students using the idioms stories. It is an added bonus that these stories are all nonfiction so that we can increase background knowledge in most students. The program is easy to use, log into, and is motivational. It's a great way for kids to catch up with peers!

I have been using Read Live with my students for 2 years. Many of my students have made significant growth in a short amount of time. I highly recommend this program to teachers and schools looking to boost their students' reading fluency skills.

I only have 3 full months of using Read Live but it has been a game changer for my intervention students. They love the nonfiction stories and are excited to get their ribbons at the end of the whole story. This program is very user friendly and I love the information I get from it.

Read Live has been an invaluable tool for supplementing my kids' fluency practice. Its ability to provide individualized practice and instruction has significantly benefited my students.

One of the standout features of Read Live is its capacity to differentiate instruction. This allows me to tailor the learning experience to each student's unique needs, ensuring they receive the support they require to succeed.

Furthermore, the platform facilitates one-on-one time with students, enabling me to effectively remediate specific skills. This personalized attention has proven to be incredibly impactful in helping students overcome their challenges and improve their reading fluency.

Overall, Read Live serves as a wonderful supplement to my existing curriculum, enhancing my teaching strategies and supporting my students' reading development. It has truly made a positive difference in my classroom.

We use Read Live as an addition to our direct service. The ability to tailor Read Live stories to reinforce what is being directly taught is a bonus. The reports are helpful to help identify growth and "still needs to be supported" areas.
 

I love how the program gives the students repeated practice with reading at their level. However, I wish One Minute Reader had a monitor password before moving on. I do like the word warm-ups.
