RAZ-KIDS! for your child and more!
RAZ-KIDS!
We are very lucky that our school is going to try out Raz-Kids! I wish that we had this fun reading program for the computer, tablets (iPads) and phones all school year!
Your child now has access to hundreds of eBooks, using the school's subscription to Raz-Kids, www.raz-kids.com.
Students can read, listen to and even self-record reading those books.
Students also practice reading comprehension skills through quizzes along the way to show the progress your child is making! Comprehension is one of the most difficult skills to grasp in reading at the Kindergarten level.
Your child can access Raz-Kids on your phone, tablet or computer by going to:
