Raz-Kids is a great program to encourage and improve a student’s reading fluency and comprehension!  Your child received a letter with his/her password from your child’s teacher earlier this week. Books have been selected at his/her current reading level!  It is important to understand that levels are based on fluency, comprehension, independence and confidence while reading the text.  Students become better readers when they are reading at their appropriate level...not too hard and/or not too easy!  Your child’s teacher will reassess them periodically to check for growth.  Please note...after logging on, your child should select “My Assignment” not “Level up”!  Happy reading!
