"My school is a high poverty school, in a rural area of Michigan. There are 20 second graders in my classroom.

We love to read and listen to fluent readers, however, do not have enough resources so that several children can listen at one time.

I have requested a subscription to raz-kids.com. This is an interactive website full of books, read by fluent readers, comprehension quizzes, and learning! A subscription to raz-kids.com would allow my students to use classroom computers to listen to a fluent reader read a book. It would also be a way for them to use technology, which is so high interest to them!

Your help will allow my students to become much more fluent readers, improve their oral and written communication skills, and make it possible for them to practice reading in an engaging, authentic way.

My 20 students need access to raz-kids.com, an online library of books they can listen to and test on. The cost of this proposal is $110, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."

Dear Brandon and kathy, 

Thank you so much for funding this for my students!!!!!!!

We just had a free week trial and they LOVED using this website, so I know they will be so excited to find out this morning that they now have access to it permanently! They have loved practicing their reading fluency and comprehension using raz-kids and I am just so thrilled that you have generously made it possible for them to continue!

Thank you again for supporting reading in my classroom! You are amazing!

With gratitude,
Mrs. B.

Photos coming soon!
