Intervention Programs

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!

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.

Great program! The resistant readers are more willing to use Read Live, since the stories are chosen by them, short and they get quick results/input on their progress. We are able to use the program for intervention, as well as reading practice for students at grade level.

I was skeptical about using this program at first thinking it would be another program to push on the students. I love that the students had independence to pick a story of interest. They also could independently talk to the computer and get feedback. The teacher features to turn certain features on and off to differentiate was awesome. I no longer work at the school that I used this program with but I wish I could use this with my current title 1 students and tutoring students. I don't have a personal budget to pay for it.

Read Live has made noticeable improvements for struggling readers, particularly in areas such as vocabulary development, fluency, reading comprehension, and written expression. The platform has been especially beneficial for our students in the reading lab, who have shown gradual but steady growth in their reading skills. It has provided a valuable resource for supporting struggling readers by offering a structured and engaging approach to learning.

In terms of preparation for high-stakes assessments, such as the STAAR test for grades 3rd through 5th, Read Live has proven to be a useful tool. It helps students develop essential reading skills and offers a solid foundation for the type of reading required in the assessment. Many students have found it helpful for honing their test-taking strategies and boosting their confidence for the exam.

However, it would be highly beneficial if the platform could integrate speech-to-text functionality. Several of our students rely on this accommodation to support their learning process, and its inclusion could further improve accessibility and allow these students to engage more fully with the content. This would enhance their ability to respond to reading exercises and assessments more effectively, making Read Live even more inclusive.

Overall, Read Live has been a valuable tool for students in grades 1st through 5th, and adding speech-to-text functionality could make it even more accessible and beneficial to a wider range of learners.

A Masterpiece book for Phonics.

My school has been using Read Live for 2 years now. We are seeing so much progress for our struggling readers in our 3rd - 6th grade classes! We are also able to use it for our primary advanced students during independent work stations. It is such a good tool that builds in fluency training, comprehension practice, and also vocabulary. Students are excited about the reading passages, and motivated by that blue and red bar graph! One of the best things I've seen happening is all of the data chats after a student's hot read. We have an individual reading conference that is targeted toward their specific needs. We are able to set goals for the next story, or do a small mini lesson for them to revisit their comprehension questions. The teacher dashboard is so easy to use, with lots of options to tailor make the students' reading experience.

I LOVE Read Naturally Live and Word Warm Ups!!! I use these with my 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. The nonfiction passages build background knowledge and vocabulary while working on fluency. I have had students’ families take vacations to places they learned about through RN! I appreciate how, as a teacher, I can make adjustments to the level and goals for each student. After the students work through the different steps of a story, I am able to conference with each student, listen to them read their story, and then talk about their answers to the comprehension questions. Students are so proud to see their progress in the charts provided.
This program is very easy to use, is research-based, and adaptable to each student’s needs. The support is fantastic! I can print letters and step-by-step guides to inform parents how the program works. Throughout the year, I can send home summary or detailed reports about their child’s progress. I am so appreciative that my school provides this resource for my students! It has truly made a difference!

As a veteran reading specialist of 21 years I can’t imagine doing my job without Read Live. I was recently at a conference where other reading teachers were expressing frustration with struggling to keep up on progress monitoring every two weeks. They had a hard time administering the assessments and entering/displaying the data. I am happy to say I couldn’t relate at all, thanks to Read Live! I always have fresh data and it’s never, ever a hassle thanks to RL:)

For students who are already automatic with grapheme/phoneme connections, and need more practice reading smoothly this product does a nice job.

Read Naturally Live is an excellent online reading program to build phonics skills and fluency ability in students. I use it with my students with reading disabilities and have seen outstanding growth in reading achievement with all learners. The students love reading non-fiction stories and learning new things while reading. They also enjoy learning vocabulary words while waiting for a teacher to help them pass the story. I highly recommend using Read Naturally Live to support reading achievement.

Michelle was very helpful, but I haven't used it with any students yet, so I can't comment on much. I'm looking forward to using it.

Read Live has been a great resource for our students to build on their comprehension and fluency skills. The students love the independent aspect of working on their own and at their own pace. The stories are interesting for them to read and also hold their attention.

We use read live with our students in small groups. Our students love the program and so do we. We have seen growth in every student that is using this program!

Read Live has made such a difference for students within my classroom. My students made significant improvements in their fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Students love the engaging texts and are motivated to start each new story.

Read Live is a comprehensive reading program that helps students develop vocabulary, fluency, reading comprehension and written expression while keeping them motivated to reach their goals. The stories are interesting and keep students engaged. You can adjust your student's reading level, the amount of practices they may need to reach their fluency goal and the time they have to complete their retell. Another excellent feature is that the program includes Read Live in Spanish!! That is a big plus for my students who are learning in a DUAL language program. Last, but not least, I love using the detail reports to discuss with students what they are doing well and where they can improve.

Read Live is the solution we've been searching for to deliver differentiated, targeted instruction. It encompasses all the essential components for effective literacy teaching. My students are making noticeable progress and gaining more confidence in their reading.

Read Live is one of the few resources I’ve tried and felt my district definitely needs to invest in it. With so many students coming in with dyslexia diagnosis, Read Live has been my support to help target those deficits in phonics and fluency, I’ve videoed one of my students reading a fluency passage and sent it to my SPED Director. She immediately asked how many seats we need. I am so excited we are purchasing seats for the upcoming year, and I am so eager to see how much growth our students will show after using it with fidelity. I’ve seen much growth in the one student I’ve used it with faithfully. He is now able to work the program on his own as I work with other students. He’s taking ownership of his own learning which is so important for students. I love it! I just love it!

Read Naturally has made my 4th & 5th graders stronger at retelling what they have read. My students are really honing in on the 5 W's & H.
Lower Elem are becoming stronger readers!
