The thing I hate about raz-kids is the account hacking and I got bullyed for it plz remove it its so bad and it makes me want to kill my self with a gun
Sentence unscramble has bad volume so children do not even know if the words they use are right, while even inter-changable words that sound the same are wrong. It upsets several people in my class, including one person who got a temper tantrum and threw his computer out the window, into a teachers head and knocked her and the computer in the lake, due to how many questions and words their were.
We've tried out RazKids and we enjoyed parts of it. They have a great selection of simple stories and also have audio files which can be really helpful. The questions in RazKids are also very straightforward so the kids do fairly well with them. We did notice that the kids needed extra help when it came to grammar and understanding more complicated stories. I've really seen the kids struggle because that was their weakness. Since then we've been using Beestar which has a great grammar component and also classical stories that really help the kids build up their critical reading skills. The kids also do well with the stories and are fully challenged by the questions.
Raz-kids was great in that there is audio available but the content felt a tad bit too simple for my students. We use Beestar instead for more classical stories, grammar components and test practices.
My teachers make me use this and it sucks so much, they have the most boring books EVER! If your a teacher reading this please don't make your students suffer and don't freak'in download this piece of garbage. I hope the people who made this read my review and actually put real books on this.
I am a parent of a child who was assigned this program by the teacher. Books are so-so. Like the audio function of students being able to have a sentence read to them to aid with pronouncing words. But you can't turn off or modify the reading audio so that you only have the word read if you scroll over the single word. It just reads the whole page or sentence to you. Program seems to encourage listening comprehension, not reading comprehension. Like the fact there is a quiz. But am mortified that the program for emerging young readers admits to deleting all correct quiz answers and forcing students to redo work after following the prompt in the program to correct answers. If you try to correct an answer more than once all the correct answers are deleted and you have the read the book again and take the test all over again. There is no warning about deleting correct answer. This is is sure to create testing anxiety, and a disincentive to trying to correct quizes.
My son used this site during Covid shutdowns last year, we read both English and French, he progressed very nicely, he worked his way up from the basics of reading to more complex reading. No complaints, it is a helpful and they made it fun to read - my son did a great job and continues to be good reader. He posted a youtube video of his experiences using the fun site:

With my experince I had a lot of fun with it I would read 10 books a day at once the stars are addicting and I got to flex it in 3rdish grade, you can spend your stars buying stuff for your character, spaceship, or pet. If you want to do good you can donate stars to give food to people. Overall very addicting site much better than what IXL has to offer.
As 1st grade teacher in a 100%Language Immersion School(Spanish, we also have French and Chinese)consider raz-kids a wonderful option. You can find Translations to Spanish, French. Excellent, everybody wins: teachers, students and parents.
Raz kids is very boring and none should like it there is no search bar and its so slow it takes up to much internet and its a trashy website and most of the books are fake
So I am in Ms. Mahoneys 4th grade class and Im working on the water cycle and I was about to finish it and I press "End" it keeps me stuck on the screen and I have been crying the past two days so can you fix it, Please and thank you. PS: It keeps removing my progress -Jason Carbajal
The reading a-z is very very boring. BUT THE SCIENCE A-Z PART IS SO CRAP IT MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS RIGHT NOW! IF YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT AND YOU CLOSE OUT OF THE TAB, IT COMPLETELY RESETS THE WHOLE ASSIGNMENT! I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT A SINGLE BIT!
The website is horrible! My 7 year old isn't able to find the books she is required to read. I have to google the book and then login to find the books on your website. The categories for these books are incorrect. If children are using this website it needs to be more user friendly!
This is trash and epic is way better because it is WAY more fun! Some students have not even GOT to try epic. That is so bad! Scroll down for PROOF that this was stupid of me to download!
Raz-kids allows teachers to easily create homework and an incentive for reading. Linked to Readingatoz.com (they share some of the same books also), Raz-kids allows you and students to see/hear the book read out loud, to record yourself reading (with vocabulary and pronunciation help), to print some worksheets linked to the book and to take an online quiz. As a teacher, you can see your students' progress charts, quiz scores, etc. When the students complete all their tasks, they get points which can be used to "buy" things for their "raz rocket".
Assigning the work can be tricky, as there's a lot of clicking around to be done (you choose the sequence, which can be time-consuming if you individualize instruction like we do). And at about $80 a year, this is also expensive but worth it if you want to encourage reading and help kids learn that homework can be fun too.
I figured out everyone's password and the teacher had to change everyone's password to a more complex one.
This site is GREAT for my daughter who is home schooled and has difficulty with reading, comprehension, and retention. It make my job so much easier! LOVE the site!

Leave settings just in case we get irritated about this thing and I'm angry and I'm angry and I'm angry
Answer: All kinds! Just choose your level. Level aA is the lowest so that's where the most easy books are. Level Z is the highest, so that's where the hardest books are. Although I would recommend to give Raz-Kids to kids who are still in elementary school and not secondary or higher.
