RAZ-Kids REASONS WHY RAZ-KIDS Raz-Kids is offered through the Chatham School district . They pay to subscribe to it and all students and teachers in the district have access to it. A.J.’s teacher provided us with the teacher username and password. She then set –up the students on the levels they are currently at based on reading tests conducted at school. The students are to read 30 minutes a night and this is a good way to check that progress. RAZ-Kids I love that my son can go and pick out books that are at his level. This site is wonderful because there are a variety of fiction and non-fiction books. The quizzes help the students learn how to pay attention to details in the story in order to get those questions right.
