Raz-Kids

We have a wonderful online reading program called Raz-Kids that we will utilize this year starting sometime around January! This is a program that you have the opportunity to use it at home.

 Program Overview

 I will assign each student a reading level online based on their performance in the classroom.

 Your child needs to earn a check mark for each of the symbols that are located under each book. (Ear, eye and question mark.) *See reading “rules below.*

 Your child earns “stars” for each check mark that they earn. Near the top of the page you will find a tab labeled, Raz-Rocket. This is a pretend space themed area where students can “buy” items for their Raz-Rocket room using the stars that they earned for reading.

 Once a child earns a check mark for all symbols, they automatically will be advanced to the next level of books. o Example: If your child starts on a level C book and they earn a check mark for each book, they automatically will be moved to the level D library.

NOTE: Advancing to the next level of books does not always accurately reflect their reading level at school.

Home Reading “Rules” If your child logs in we ask that you follow the specific “rules” below.

1. Only work on 1 book at a time *First, listen to the book. (Click the ear) *Next, read the book. (Click the eye) *Finally, take the comprehension quiz. (Question mark)

a. If your child does not pass the quiz the first time: have them listen to the book again and then try retaking the quiz.

b. If they do not pass the quiz (earning a check mark) the second time: move on to another book.

I will look at the teacher side of the program and figure out what type of questions that they are missing and work on that skill at school. This a great option to use for part of their reading homework! If you have any questions, please contact me.
