Dear Parents/Guardians,

Congratulations! Your child has access to a wonderful world of books through raz- because the Title I Reading Program has subscribed to the online library of exciting reading materials. Raz-Kids helps students improve their reading skills as they listen to a book read for modeled fluency. If you have a built in or plug-in microphone/headset, they can record themselves reading the same book. The students can also just read the book aloud for practice. Interactive quizzes are available at the end of each book to check for understanding. Every time your child listens to a book, reads a book, completes a quiz, makes a recording, he or she will earn points they can use to customize their own RAZ Rocket. PLUS, every time they record themselves reading, Mrs. Thomas will be able to hear it at school!

Here’s how to access the website and your child’s reading assignment from any computer connected to the internet:

1. Go to raz- from your internet browser and click on log in. [pic]

2. Type in Mrs. Thomas’ username: mrsthomasnpe and click go. [pic]

3. Find your child’s name on the chart and click on the symbol above it.

4. Enter the same password your child uses for the Technology Lab at school: npe and the first three letters of your first name. For example, npetho.

5. The books in your child’s assignment and points earned appear on a personal assignment page. Your child can choose to listen, read, or take the quiz by clicking on the symbols below each book.

*New: You can also download an app for this on your Apple or Android device. Just search for “Learning A-Z” and you will find the free app.

Remember, the more your child reads, the better reader he or she will become! Please let me know if you have any technical difficulties. Thank you for your support! Happy Reading!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Thomas
