Word Unscramble
March 30, 2023

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.

Great option but there are also others

Updated review

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.

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:

Crap
April 20, 2022

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!

Math Practice
August 29, 2020

As a 2nd grade teacher in Math, I have tried Raz-Kids and Beestar for my students for their independent learning time. Beestar provides more test practices for students that allow them to be more prepared for school tests. I also recommended my co-workers and parents to use Beestar.
