Our class RazKids subscription is in! On Monday, your child will come home with their login and password information. The information card will be stapled to the inside of their yellow homework folders. RazKids is an online reading program that works on the accuracy, fluency and comprehension of the reader. I have designated a book level for each student. This level has been selected so that students can read at their independent level, rather than instructional level. Students should be able to read the text and take the comprehension quiz independently with little or no assistance. There are three reading activities for each title. Students listen to the story, read the story on their own and then take the comprehension quiz. I advise students to do all three options for each title.
Please keep in mind that RazKids levels their online books with a different system than the guided reading levels we use at school. Therefore, the letter assigned to your child on RazKids does not correspond to the letter level of books read in school.
RazKids does come with an online incentive program called the Raz Rocket. Students earn stars for the books they read and the comprehension quizzes they take online.
RazKids can be used as the nightly reading for the reading log. However, it is not required to be done every night. Of course, students are welcome to be reading literature at home for their nightly reading.
We will also be using RazKids at school during our Daily Five listen to reading block.
There is now an app for the IPAD available for RazKids! This is brand new and, even better, it's free! If you enter RazKids into your search box in your app store, you should find it. It will say Learning A to Z. You will need the login information that will come home on Monday in order to access the student page.
