Intervention Programs

We are so pleased with Read Live and the progress our students are making. The passages are interesting for the students, which helps with these reluctant readers. The reports are so helpful, giving details that help us document progress and develop action plans. The program is very cost-effective, covers a wide range of skills, and is student-friendly.

Since incorporating Read Live with my special education reading small groups, I have seen huge improvements with all students, no matter their needs or level. It has increased their reading confidence, most importantly! Their improvements are not only shown when reading passages at their level, but also when they are screened with grade level passages.

This has been an amazing support system for my 2nd through 5th grade students. It is perfect for each student to work at their own level in fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The best part is seeing the growing confidence in all of my students.

Read Live is a fantastic program for students with learning differences. My students use Read Live 4-5 days a week and are showing improvement in reading WPM, vocabulary, comprehension (especially retelling), reading level, and overall reading confidence. I love how the program can be individualized for each student. My slower processors and typers have the max time for retelling the story which helps them complete what they want to say. The reports and monitoring help me keep on top of my students needs and accomplishments. We just finished mid-year assessments and all of my students are improving. I have Read Live to partially thank for that. Thank You from a very satisfied language arts teacher.

Read Live has been a game changer for so many of my students! It helps them build fluency and accuracy, comprehension and writing skills. Not only has it helped my students, but it helps me in my classroom. Students are able to be pretty independent with Read Live which frees up time for me to complete progress monitoring tasks my district requires.

I have used Read Live for several years and have loved seeing the growth in my students. This program gives me the tools I need to help students build fluency, accuracy, comprehension, and writing. It is an excellent program for struggling readers!

Read Naturally is my favorite intervention program that we use in our school. It is very interactive and the kids really enjoy it. The stories are interesting and keep students engaged. I have even learned many random facts and have used my knowledge to win trivia contests with family. The kids are always excited when they “level up”. I have never had a student that dreads coming to learn on Read Live with me & that makes my job even easier!

I have used Read Live for several years in my small groups. Students have loved seeing their growth with their fluency and I have seen their great improvement with their comprehension skills.

Read LIVE is so important in our Resource Special Ed Room! The kids love reading the stories, improve their fluency scores, and love to do the Vocabulary builder short quizzes before the Red/Yellow tab Assessment is completed by the teacher with the student. The students have improved so much in their reading comprehension as well. Having to type responses also helps the students with their keyboarding skills. I must also add, by sitting with the students, I have learned so many new facts about various subjects. Keep up the good work!

I am an elementary special education teacher, and I have been using Read Naturally Live for reading fluency and comprehension since I began teaching in the LRC room two years ago. My students have made great progress using this program. They love the interesting stories and especially enjoy completing the crossword puzzle at the end of each lesson.
From a teacher’s perspective, I appreciate how quick and easy the program is to set up. After just a few sessions, students can work independently, which allows me to provide targeted support where it’s needed most. Many of my students are in the same grade but read at very different levels and Read Live Naturally makes it easy to keep each student working at their own instructional level.
I am so thankful our school found this program—it is one of the most frequently used and most valuable instructional resources I have in my classroom.

I have been using Read Naturally Live for about 4 years now in my Title I middle school classes. I have seen growth from a majority of my students using the program consistently. The students like the choice of readings the program provides and gives them knowledge of topics that they may not have seen before! Overall, I have loved the program and how easy it is to use in small groups!

An excellent program that helps students with comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary! Students see so much growth. Instant feedback allows them to further improve their skills. Data charts give further insight about student growth and areas to improve.

I used Read Live all last year and loved the way it covered phonics rules, repeated reading, vocabulary development, and comprehension. I saw improvement in all of my students over the year. This is my favorite computer-based program that I have used. I am really grateful that my district is willing to continue offering it for sped.

I've enjoyed using Read Live with students. Stories are engaging and the instant data is great!

Being a special education teacher, it can be hard to find a program that is versatile enough to cover all the needs of my students. Read Live is a great program that makes it easy for teachers to differentiate not only grade levels, but also independent reading skills. I have seen great progress in my students throughout the years of using this program!

I have been using Read Naturally Live for several years. This program is very effective for small-group intervention in grades 3-5. Enables easy differentiation for students of all ages and instructional levels. I am able to effectively differentiate to meet the needs of each student. My students love the high-interest nonfiction passages. The built in progress monitoring tool enables me to review data and inform parents, administrators and classroom teachers of my students' strengths and weaknesses. In addition, I use the Word Warm Ups Live features with third grade students to reinforce decoding & word attack strategies. One Minute Reader is the icing on the cake- each student can work at their own pace and practice fluency and comprehension skills while I am working with individual students. 10/10 recommend this product for any school district looking for a quality reading intervention program!!

This is my 3rd year utilizing the Read Live program in my self-contained classroom. I teach seventh grade students that are reading, on average, at a third grade level. My students have shown so much growth through using this reading program. Not only has their reading fluency increased but also there have been improvements to their reading comprehension skills as well. I know that my students get excited when they pass a story and are able to put their sticker on their charts. The program does a great job using the ribbon system to visually show students how well they did on each story. We are currently trying to find time within the school day to incorporate the Read Live program into our co-taught schedule. I think that this program would be beneficial to those students as well. In my thirteen year teaching, I have tried multiple reading programs and I can say that we have seen the most growth with his program than any other!

Read Naturally Live is a great resource to improve fluency, above all, and simultaneously holds students accountable for comprehension. The continued development of their suite of products is impressive and meets the intervention demands that many schools currently face.

I have been using Read Live in my RTI program for five years now. I have seen so many students improve their reading skills with this program. Read Live allows them to read on their level and gives them confidence in their reading. The students feel successful and thus enjoy reading!! It is a fantastic program!

I have been using Read Live in my interventionist groups for the past 4 years. It is a wonderful program! We use it to boost fluency and comprehension for NWEA testing. We have found that those students who are just below the recommended score benefit from this program. I love to hear that the students I am seeing are passing their goals and achieving higher than expected scores. I would highly recommend this program!!

The one-minute reader is a perfect way to incorporate all reading skills into one place. My students look forward to the stories and are excelling in reading in ways that they never have before.

This is the first year that I utilized Read Live through my district. This program has helped me personally see student growth and allow for practicing skills in the small group setting. I have students that look forward to using this program due to the engagement that it has provided to them!

Read Live is a go to for repeated reading practice. The text is high interest so it keeps the students engaged in their learning.

This is my 1st full year utilizing Read Live in my small groups and so far I am loving it! I have seen students who don't enjoy reading look forward to coming in my room to read on Read Live, some have been doing it for several years before coming to me and they aren't tired of it, which is refreshing. I look forward to receiving the update emails every month! Thank you for offering this program!

I really enjoy using Read Naturally. It is easy to use, engaging for students, and does a great job building reading fluency and confidence. I like that it is data-driven and allows students to work at their own level while clearly showing progress over time.

I really appreciate this program for my students who need fluency practice. This is a great way to differentiate between students and a good way for them to practice almost independently. For teachers who need data to show that their students are improving it helps to keep track of each story that they read. I recommend this for my fourth and fifth graders who just need that little bit of extra practice.

Our school has been using Read Live for the last 3 years. It has been such a great resource to use and we have seen such improvements in our students that use it consistently. We love the data that comes with the program and it is very easy to show and explain to parents.

I am a Title Intervention teacher, and I love Read Live! We have used Read Naturally for years and love how it has evolved into a digital program. Read Live has been great. My students can work on their reading at their own levels while other students work on other things. I have seen tremendous growth and have been able to close reading gaps with my students. We use Read Live for fluency, spelling, and comprehension. This is a great program that addresses multiple areas of reading. The Data mentor is also beneficial and provides great feedback. This will forever be an intervention program that we will continue to use in my Title Program.

This is my first year using Read Naturally and it has been an amazing tool! This is my first year in this position and I was a little overwhelmed, but Read Naturally has been a life saver!

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…
