Last week, I sent home a parent letter with students about our new online reading program called Raz-Kids that I have subscribed Room 214 to. Each student in our class has a password (which is actually a picture) as well as the website address for Raz-Kids taped inside the front of their agenda.

| The Raz Robot: Build and personalize a robot with all the reading points you earn! |
This service will allow students to read books at their level (I've already set them up at their current reading level) on any device or computer that has a connection to the internet. They can log in from anywhere and choose from over 1000 books that will help them to become fluent masters of reading! There are also assignments that challenge students to use their comprehension and memory skills to answer questions about the books they read.

All of their progress is tracked by me and as of next week, parents and guardians will be able to log in and track progress too. If you are having any trouble logging your child into Raz Kids, please let me know as soon as possible and I will provide you with 'tech support' and help you and your child to get it up and running.
Here are a quick set of instructions to get you going:
1) Go to
Raz-Kids (http://www.raz-kids.com/main/Login)
2) Enter the teacher name:
zaksmith
3) Find your child's name in the list and click the button above their name.
4) Click on the picture (or pictures) that is the password for your child (found on the slip of paper taped into your child's agenda).
5) Start reading!

**Note: You do not need the app to use Raz-Kids but it does make it easier...
