Raz-Kids is a program that McCollough Elementary has to pay for but it is money well spent!  It is money well spent because your child has books available to them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!  I sent home letters on Friday about how to go on Raz-Kids at home.  Also, I have taped the information inside of your child’s homework folder.  Please have your child read 20 minutes from Raz-Kids every night and then color in the piece on their reading calendar.  The time can include the comprehension quizzes they are required to take at the end of each book.  I have started your child 2 levels below what they actually are working on in school so that they can practice their fluency and comprehension skills.  As they pass the comprehension questions, the program will automatically move them to the next level.  If your child has completed all the books in that level but it doesn’t move them, that means they have not passed the comprehension quizzes and need to redo those books.

This is an awesome program to use because it will help improve your child’s reading.  Students who advance in reading levels are the ones who practice daily at school and at home.  You can activate the program on a computer, ipad, iphone, or an android phone.  If you don’t have any of these devices available, maybe you could take a trip to the public library once or twice a week to use the computers there.  Thank you so much for being an active parent in your child’s education.  With both of us helping your child, they will succeed!

Happy Reading:)
