Read Naturally Live
Read Naturally's research-based reading interventions have helped students become fluent readers and make solid gains in comprehension and vocabulary. Students have weekly practice with this program, and are also encourgaed to practice at home to support their fluency. Students will have a weekly passage and word list to practice and will "read with the teacher" on Fridays to show off their skills!
