What's New in This Release

​Read Live version 2.25.0.0 includes the addition of crossword puzzles in One Minute Reader Live. One crossword is available based on each book’s content. Students access crossword puzzles after completing all of a book’s stories.

A new Word Warm-ups Level Report has been added to Word Warm-ups Live. The new report, available from the Staff Member Module, lets teachers review student performance across all the exercises in one or more levels. The Spelling area of the Exercise Details report has also been revised.

Vocabulary words are now present on practice pages in Read Naturally Live and the Read Alone page in One Minute Reader Live. This feature previously only appeared on the Read Along steps of stories in both applications.
