There are so many valuable resources on this site [Reading A-Z] that I could go on for a very long time talking about them ... As a Reading Specialist, I can't imagine what it would be like to be without it!

—— Valerie Schuetta

Reading Specialist; Tempe, Arizona
I love using Reading A-Z in my class. The site is easy to access and provides many resources for me. I love being able to look for specific levels of books or specific topics for my students. This helps me differentiate so much better.

—— Melissa Collison

Kindergarten Teacher; Taylor County Elementary School; Taylor County School District; Campbellsville, Kentucky
As a 3rd-grade teacher, I have students who read on many levels. Reading A-Z enables me to have books that teach each of them to read.

—— Michelle Crain

Teacher; Llano Elementary School; Llano Independent School District; Llano, Texas
The diversity of materials is impressive. I have a very racially diverse class, and all my students can find characters like themselves in the Reading A-Z books ... When I first began teaching 15 years ago, there was always a risk when you sent a book home. Now, however, I send books home without hesitation because if they are damaged or lost, we just print out another one!

—— Tamzin Sugiyama

The fact that the books are categorized by content makes for an easier way to plan integration of reading and writing throughout the day. Reading A-Z is wonderful!

—— Lucy Vasquez

My students use Reading A-Z and Raz-Kids for Running Records. ... It is an awesome program that helps you keep data on your students' reading progress.

—— Miriam White

—— Ruth Tatter

Teacher, Grades 1 and 2; Edna I. Murphy Elementary; Independent School District 318; Grand Rapids, Minnesota
Reading A-Z has been a great resource. Our teachers have used the printable books during guided reading lessons, as well as for interactive read-alouds. In addition, it is an economical way for our teachers to send home decodable readers with our students to use at home.

—— Joshlyn Cotton

Principal; Joan Y. Ervin Elementary School; Lubbock ISD; Lubbock, Texas
I have used Reading A-Z since 2006. ... I hope to have full access again next year as this is a tremendous resource that continually grows and changes with classrooms today!

—— Elda Ramos

Principal; Lasater Elementary School; Brooks County ISD; Falfurrias, Texas
I like how Raz-Kids motivates students to read. Students want to use the program, and it provides parents an alternative to getting students to read at home. I have seen students improve their reading level simply because they are practicing more.

—— Heidi Springer

Second Grade Teacher; Henry Hudson School #28; Rochester City School District; Rochester, New York
Reading is supposed to be enjoyable, and Raz-Kids allows kids to choose books at their level, in their area of interest. ... The testing and tracking features are a help to teachers who want to see what their kids have done with their time.

—— Paul Daman

Teacher/Coach; Northern Elementary; Bemidji Independent School District 31; Bemidji, Minnesota
As a kindergarten teacher, I loved providing my kids' parents with access to Reading A-Z's leveled reading materials at home. So great!

—— Traci Piltz

Kindergarten Teacher; Beartooth Elementary School; Billings School District; Billings, Montana
I use Raz-Kids in my special education classroom every day. I love that students can listen to stories before they read them for themselves because it builds independence. ... I work in a Title I school. Very few of my students have books at home. ... Raz-Kids is helping me prevent the summer reading slide that happens to so many children who live in poverty.

—— Julia Wiener

SPED Teacher; Ruby Bridges Elementary; Alameda Unified School District; Alameda, California
My students test scores went up this year. They really were excited with using the program (Headsprout). Each day they couldn't wait to log in, and competition with their names being posted boosted their self-esteem. Thanks!

—— Christina Taylor
