Corona Foothills Middle School is part of the Vail, AZ school district which has been using Read Live since 2014. Corona Foothills Middle School has made Read Live a daily fixture in their curriculum. They have been able to get those hard to please middle school students excited about meeting their word correct per minute (wcpm) goal. Teacher Sarah Hammer uses the built-in reports to communicate progress to parents and identify individual student needs. Student progress in Read Live translated to increased scores in district formative assessment.
The Read Live program provides content for grade 1 through adult and is used with students in need of reading support, including English language learners, special education students, and Title I students. Students using Read Live work mostly independently by reading high-interest, nonfiction stories and completing several activities. The research-based curriculum is designed to build fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and phonics skills.
