•Product Name: Raz-Kids
•Intended Use: Raz-Kids is an award-winning teaching product that provides
comprehensive leveled reading resources for students. With hundreds of eBooks
offered at 29 different levels of reading difficulty, it's easy to put the right content
in every student's hands. Kids access their leveled text through an interactive
learning portal designed to keep them motivated and engaged. Every eBook is
available in online and mobile formats, and allows students to listen to, read at
their own pace, and record themselves reading. Students then take a corresponding
eQuiz complete with an extended answer response to test comprehension and
determine future instruction needs. Once a child has read ten or more of the
leveled eBooks and passed each of the corresponding eQuizzes, they advance on
to the next reading level where they have access to lengthier and more difficult
text. 

• Fee: Raz-kids fee structure is subscription based where


you can pay for it yearly for $128 which is about $11 a
month. 
• Ways to use this Product: Raz-kids is essentially an
online library where students can find books that fit
their reading level. The site is mostly for K-5 and is is
geared for those ages. I could see this being used in a
classroom when teachers give students time for
independent reading or even group readings. Another
way, this can be used is students can utilize it at home
and if a teacher gets this for the class then students can
read books you might assign at home.

you are looking for lots of educational game options this is
a good website for you. What I like about this over cool
math games is the games seem to be a little more
educational based. The ads are a lot cleaner which is
important to me when it comes to elementary students. I
also really liked all the teacher resources. It would be so
easy to learn geometric shapes, compare fractions, and go
over decimals with money. All in all it's a solid website.
