Using the Right Words(http://www.readnaturally.com/why/research_mostFreqWords.htm)
• Fry’s 1000 most frequently used words are a big part of the passages used
• As levels get higher the words used get more challenging
• Good balance of both common and uncommon words to increase a child’s vocabulary

Another Benefit: An Individualized Program (http://www.readnaturally.com/why/howRnHelps.htm)
• Students are always working on material that is appropriate for their own level
• Students at different levels can participate in the program at the same time
• Students do not have to wait or continue practicing stories they have already mastered while waiting for other students
• Students are able to select stories • Students can develop at their own pace• Students have less distraction from working with
other students and spend more time READING
