Raz-Kids

Another picture book app that I have come across that I would recommend for students would be Raz-Kids. The animated books and interactive quizzes are but two aspects of this award winning site that makes it popular among students.

Raz-Kids boasts to having more than 400 titles on its website, and that it adds more books every month. Each of the books can be listened to so fluency can be modeled for the students. Even better, the students can record themselves reading the books. What a great learning tool! The teachers can go on each student's account so they can monitor student's progress.

In order to aid comprehension, each title is coupled with an eQuiz for that particular book. Again, teachers can go into that student's account to receive skill reports on each student, as well as online cumulative records.

Raz-Kids has made its app kid-friendly, which makes it easier for students to understand how to interact with the digital picture books. This makes for an ideal situation, since once students have this understanding, they are able to derive a beneficial relationship with reading and, ultimately, literacy.

Raz-Kids is always available on the internet and can be accessed on nearly any mobile device. That means that kids can take their reading with them anywhere, anytime. A little summer reading, anyone?
