Intervention Programs

Read Live is the perfect way to differentiate reading comprehension. As a special education teacher, I can meet the needs of all my students. My students love the stories and celebrate their growth and accomplishments with each story they finish!

Read Live has been a game changer for student engagement in an intensive autism classroom. I personally purchased this to support current reading instruction. The vocab with pictures has even added support for an ELL student. Do wish there was more of visual support within the quiz feature and more spelling during passing the passage.

This program has been such a great asset for our struggling readers in our school corporation!

Read Live has been an invaluable tool for my students. It allows them to work on fluency and comprehension at their own pace and level, which helps them feel more confident in their reading skills. I particularly appreciate how they can read along with the story out loud and then practice reading independently. The word lists are also a great feature, providing extra opportunities for students to practice word recognition.

One area my students often struggle with is vocabulary, but Read Live helps them make significant progress by offering the story as a reference to help with definitions. This support is crucial, especially when answering comprehension questions. I've noticed a real improvement in their comprehension skills, thanks to the ability to refer back to the text when needed.

The students also love seeing their progress after each "hot read." Even when they don't meet their goal, they appreciate the opportunity to try again and improve next time. This reinforces a growth mindset and motivates them to keep working hard.

Overall, both my students and I have greatly enjoyed using Read Live, and we've seen noticeable growth in their reading skills!

I have been using Read Naturally for years and I am a big fan. I love the fact that it hits so many target areas all in one program; decoding, encoding, fluency, vocabulary, writing, concrete and inferential thinking .... I also really like the data that I can use when writing progress notes on the student's ability in each of those areas. It is good, concrete data that I can share with parents and coworkers. I plan to keep using this program for years!

Read Naturally has been a wonderful addition to our intervention service for students focusing on fluency!

I have been looking for an all inclusive program for my Special Education middle school students. I wanted a program that helped increase their basic decoding, fluency and comprehension skills. This program is very engaging to the students. I ask them who loves it and I was surprised by all of the positive feedback. Students love choosing their own stories and that they can listen to someone read as they practice reading and that they can see their improvements through graphs immediately. I love all the components, the independent features for the students and that the teacher has the ability to turn on and off features and that teachers have to put in their code before a student can take a test. I piloted this program and I am not sure if my county or school will help purchase it, but for me as a teacher, I love it!

My high school students much prefer Read Naturally to our past oral reading fluency/comprehension exercises. They find the choice of reading passages and individualized pace to be very engaging and they love to track their progress! It's not a one-size-fits-all solution, but its a great addition to our reading curriculum.

I teach reading to students with reading disabilities. When I pair Read Live practice with systematic sequential phonics practice, students make huge gains in their ability to read more fluently. The Read Live practice helps students build vocabulary and reading endurance. This year I have had 6th graders who read one new story a week gain 25 words per minute on a first read and have gained a year of growth in their Independent Reading Levels.

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.

Ever since I started using Read Naturally Live my students have been very engaged and increasing their fluency! They love getting to choose their own topic to read about and they have been excited to learn while building fluency!

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!

We tried Read Live in our intervention lab as a free sample. We really liked it and hope we can find money next year to order it for our upper grade lab students.

My students and I love Read Naturally! The stories are engaging and my students love that can see their progress in the fluency charts at the end of each story.

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!

I appreciate that there is a phonics based series of stories. The sequence of exercises for all the Read Naturally Live lessons is excellent and students can visually see their reading rate improve with repeated readings. My students have made great progress with this program and I have appreciated using Read Live with the students who really needed this level of support. It's easy to print the story that students pick to send home with them for extra repeated reading practice at home too.

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!
