EBooks and Raz-Kids

Hi Parents

I want to let you know about something we are doing in class to supplement our reading workshop.  Nothing takes the place of curling up with a good book, but this is something on top of what we do and it can also be accessed at home.  Students can use this to read books at their reading level for our weekly reading log. It overlaps with our school's BYOT initiative, so check out the info below and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

I am happy to inform you that your student has access to hundreds of eBooks using the school's subscription to Raz-Kids, www.raz-kids.com. Students can read, listen to, and even self-record reading these books. Reading-comprehension quizzes along the way show the progress that each student is making. 

Students can access assignments on a computer, tablet, or phone, by going to www.raz-kids.com/login/nmosher2, and login on nmosher2 and there name on the chart, with no password necessary.
Raz-Kids books are also available on Android and iOS devices. Go to www.raz-kids.com/mobile for details.
Follow student progress:
See which books your child has read, send messages, and review activity using our Parent Access area. Simply log in as your student, click the "Parents" link in the upper right, register, then follow the log-in instructions emailed to you.
