What are teachers saying?
I would definitely recommend this tool to another teacher.
The fun and interactive themes, stories and games make reading more fun for students. Raz-Kids helps to instill a love of reading at school & at home while making all students feel successful.
"Our K and 1 teachers have been using Raz-Kids for several years now as part of their guided reading program. The students love reading online and taking tests. The program is so motivational for all children." - Leslie Mulkey, Literacy Facilitator K-5 (www.raz-kids.com/testimonials)
