Using Raz-Plus!

Raz-Plus is worth it if you want your students to love reading. Many new students don’t feel confident reading aloud in class, but they like reading aloud and recording themselves in Raz-Plus. I’m able to monitor their progress and listen to their recordings all within the product. I can play the recording in class, and I see how proud and more confident it makes my students. It’s been a great way to keep students motivated to read more.

Classroom Teacher, PS160

What makes me happiest about using Raz-Plus is the student growth and ease of use. By using Raz-Plus, my students have been able to read more at school and at home. I especially love the comprehension activities and being able to assign and listen to recordings of my students reading for Running Records.

Allison B
Bilingual / ESL Teacher, Omaha Public Schools

Raz-Plus is a resource I use daily and what makes me happiest is the ease with which I can find materials. With Raz-Plus, my students have improved their reading skills while being exposed to new and unfamiliar topics. I love being able to use the Books By Skill chart, which allows my students to work in small groups on the same skill but at their individual levels.

Raz-Plus is Essential for Educators

“It's so versatile that, even though everyone isn't on the same reading level, they can always find something that they enjoy to read. I know that I can always find things for Science, and I can definitely find something for Social Studies, but also incorporate all of the different strategies that we are doing and reading. So I do love that I can always get a three-for-one special.”
