Raz-Kids:
If you have a computer, tablet, etc. at home and can access the internet, your child can use Raz-kids. Raz-Kids is an online library of books. The books are leveled and many are higher interest. It is important that students have access to “just right books” for practice and to hold their interest. Raz-kids books can be listened to before reading and there is a comprehension component too. Many of my students in previous years really enjoyed the books and having so much choice for their reading.

Get EPIC
Please note: This site is only available during “school hours” (7am -3pm on weekdays). I am sharing it as some families may like to use it on days when their child is not in school - PD Days, travel days, sick days (if they are feeling well enough), etc. There is no obligation to use this site.
Getepic.com is a site that provides a huge variety of books (many by favourite authors) for children to read. It is a great spot for your child to choose a good book for their independent reading.
