Raz- Kids
This awesome site will become a regular part of my curriculum this year. Raz-Kids is a division of Reading A-Z, which I use on a weekly basis in the classroom. Raz-Kids gives kids the chance to work independently on reading/comprehension/fluency on their own level and it's FUN! my students last year absolutely LOVED it and begged to get on it and work! Little did they know how many skills were being reinforced in the process. The great thing about Raz-Kids is that is it accessible from home and I encourage you to read with your child using this site. In addition, if you have a voice recorder built in to your computer, your child can record themselves reading a story and listen back to it. Here are the instructions on how to access your child's account.
***A big WOO-HOO to PTO for purchasing this site for all of 1st grade this year!***
1. Go to http://www.raz-kids.com/ (or you can use the link to the right of this post)
2. Go to the 'Log In' tab and type in 'charlystagg' (all one word) and hit the GO arrow.
3. Have your child click on their name and they will know how to do the rest. Encourage them to sign on independently each time. It makes computer station time so much easier once they know how to do this on their own!
That's it! have fun and happy reading!Oh, also, I get a report each Monday and can award extra Raz Rocket stars to those who are reading a lot at home!
