Reading
Students have been using RAZkids in the classroom to practice and improve their reading on their own individualized level. Using their personal login, students will have access to their assigned books as well as a "Reading Room" they can use to self-select books they are interested in.
Students are also encouraged to read books independently or with a parent, sibling, friend, or even a stuffed animal!
Please be sure to ask your child questions before, during, and after they read to ensure comprehension. Below are some guiding questons you can ask you child to help them excel as readers!
