My Students

My Kindergarten students are excited to learn! This is the first year of school for most of my students, and like any other students, their eyes light up when they discover something new.

My students are 5 and 6 years old in a poorly funded school district.

We have 100% free lunch status, and many of my students are challenged by the lack of materials.

My Project

This year we are learning virtually! Learning A-Z RAZ Kids provides online literacy resources to meet the diverse needs of students. These materials can be differentiated to meet all students on their level.

With this subscription, students will have access to an assortment of stories, poems, songs, and reader's theater selections.

Once I receive my subscription, I can set up individual accounts for each of my students where they will read books on their reading level. After they read the books, they can practice their reading comprehension skills by taking quizzes.
