Inspire Curiosity With Raz-Kids
When it Comes to Reading, Give Students Choice
The Reading Room provides an entire library of digital content literally at your students’ fingertips. This means that reading practice is student-led, which allows each student to be guided by their own curiosity and interests. Students can even ‘favorite’ books to revisit at a later date.
Keep an eye on which books students ‘favorite’ and incorporate related topics in your lesson plans to increase engagement.
Books: Accessible Anytime, Anywhere
The beauty of Raz-Kids is that it’s all digital, which means students can read on any device that’s connected to the internet whether they're at school, at home, or on-the-go. Downloading the Kids A-Z mobile app makes it even easier!
Send students home with a parent letter at the start of the school year to help caregivers get students signed in at home. Parent letters are available within your class roster and come in 28 different languages!

Set Goals Together
If students are having a hard time logging reading time, try setting goals together using My Stats in Kids A-Z. You can set goals based on the number of stars your student can earn, the badge they’d like to earn that week, or the number of books or activities they’d like to complete. Your students will become reading stars and feel more invested in their learning if they can set goals with you.

Complete Work, Earn Stars!
The more activities students complete, the more stars they earn. Stars are like currency in Kids A-Z, as students can cash them in for a pet shark for their avatar or a Europa Dessert Flower for their Raz Rocket. Cha-ching!
To extend the fun, ask students to write a creative story about their avatar or an adventure they go on in their Raz Rocket!
