I am SO excited to announce that raz-kids.com is set up and ready for the kids to use!
Students will be expected to read AND take the quiz over 3 books each week to receive credit for homework. Please note that they must pass the quiz in order to receive credit.
For a better understanding of how the website works, please see the directions below:
1. Log in to the student account
Teacher Name: kmccormackb
Password: your child's student ID number
2. Choose a book to read - When you log in it will show the level I have assigned to your child. Click on the book with the eye to read the book.
Students are expected to READ the book, they will not receive credit for simply listening to the story (the book with the ear).
3. After reading, select the quiz
4. Complete the quiz.
Students must pass the quiz in order to receive credit. If they get a message saying, "good job" then they have passed. If it says "read the book again" they must re-read the story in order to take the quiz again. Remember, they must pass the quiz to receive credit. They can re-read the story as many times as is needed.
5. Check to make sure the quiz is complete.
Looking back at the home screen you can see a green checkmark under the book AND the quiz when both have been completed.
When your child has completed each book on the page, meaning they have read and passed the quiz for every book on that level, please let me know and I can go in and move them up to the next level. Students are welcome to read more than 3 books per week, but they must read at least 3.
Starting today your child will be bringing home a yellow reading folder. This folder should stay inside their backpack at all times when not in use. Inside you will find their first grade reading log. After your child has read a book and completed the quiz they (or you) are to record it on the reading log. You must initial next to each book they read showing that you have checked and know they have done the required work. We have done the first one together in class as an example. I will be checking reading logs each Monday to see their reading from the week before. Please note that I will also be logging on to the website to verify what has been read.
Remember, the more they practice reading, the better readers they will become! As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
This is such an awesome resource for your children; I am so excited for them to get started using it!
Dear Ms. McCormack
ReplyDeleteI like raz kids because it has storys, songs, and even characters and nursery rhymes.
