Raz Kids

We've got Raz Kids! 

Today, all of the first grade classrooms had their Raz Kids reading account activated for use!  Raz Kids, which stands for Reading A to Z, is an amazing program that allows students to read books at their level from home.

Today your children brought home a parent letter i their red folders.  This letter explains Raz Kids and gives you your child's username and password.  To help get you started, I have included a link to the login page for your convenience.

Helpful Hints

1.  You need to search for your child's teacher's username to find our class list.  To do this, use the name mrkefgen in the search box.  No period, all lowercase.

2.  Find and select our child's name from our classroom page.

3.  Enter your child's password.  Each child has a unique password.  This is their last name and birthday.  For example, my birthday is May 27, so my password would be kefgen527.  When entering the numbers, you do not need to add any 0's (as in 01) for either the month or date.

4.  After logging in, your child has an assignment section.  Here, I have load their scores so that they have access to "Just Right," "Comfort" (2 levels below their level) and "Challenge Books" (2 levels above their level).  They should select the "eye" icon to read each book, both fiction and non-fiction, as well as the "?" to take a comprehension quiz.  The "ear" icon reads the book to them.

5.  The more books and quizzes the children use, the more stars they can earn.  They can use their stars to design their own robots and spaceships.

If you have any questions, please let me know.  I am so excited that we have access this our account just in time for the long break!.

Good luck and keep reading!  :)
