Phonics skills are foundational to reading and spelling and necessary for fluency and comprehension. All students benefit from developing these skills. However, they need a program that can be tailored to meet their individual needs. Word Warm-ups Live is the perfect solution.

Claire Ihnot Hayes is an Educational Consultant for Read Naturally who meets with educators nationwide to train them in Read Naturally programs. One of the most frequent questions Claire receives from educators is, “How can I adapt Read Naturally programs to meet the various needs of my students?” Older students, younger students, and ELL students have different needs and thus require different adjustments. We recently sat down with Claire to document her favorite tips for adapting Read Naturally Live to optimize success for a diverse body of students. These tips work for Encore students as well.

In the past year, we’ve made significant enhancements to Read Live in order to accelerate student progress and maximize teacher efficiency. As you prepare for the upcoming school year, familiarize yourself with all of these updates, which include student-independent placement, data mentor, a host of changes to make the onboarding process more efficient, and much more!

At Read Naturally, we continuously strive to improve the user experience for teachers, ensuring our tools are as efficient and easy to use as possible. We understand that teachers' time and expertise are invaluable, and we want to ensure they can maximize their efforts in working directly with their students. In line with this goal, we are excited to announce the release of several significant enhancements to the Read Live program that aim to streamline onboarding and maximize student activity time.

We hope you’re enjoying everything that Read Live has to offer. We want to let you know of an upcoming price change to your subscription. Read Naturally is committed to continually innovating our products and delivering value to our customers.

In our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, we are thrilled to announce some exciting updates to the Read Live platform. Read Naturally recently received a letter of conformance stating that the Read Live platform now conforms with Level A and AA of the WCAG version 2.1.

One of the things that sets Read Naturally programs apart is our high-interest, nonfiction stories. Struggling readers need to feel motivated to read, so we try to find unique topics that will hold their interest and spark their curiosity. When we read about the work of the nonprofit APOPO, not only were we inspired by its mission, but we knew we had the makings of a great story. Since then, our Rats to the Rescue story in Read Live and Encore II Level 5.6 has become a crowd favorite.

We are proud to announce that Read Live is the winner of the 2023 Parent and Teacher Choice Award from HowtoLearn.com! Read Live was selected as the gold medal winner in the Reading Instruction Programs category. 

Assessing students' needs and placing them appropriately is crucial to success in Read Live programs. Check out these short, informative videos to guide you through the process.

Our development team has been working hard to make Read Live more accessible and flexible for you and your students. Here are some of the important updates that have been released in the last couple of months.
