Please note that RAZ is an activity kids can do, and enjoy doing, on their own (they earn points for every book they read, so it's kind of like a game).
Reading A- Z
Reading A-Z offers downloadable, printable versions of the same books in English, Spanish and also French. There are also worksheets and other printable resources. To download printable books, log-in to www.readingA-Z.com with the password provided by your class parent. Select "Resources," then "Leveled Books" to select English titles. When you highlight a book's cover, you can navigate to Spanish and French translations of the same text. To go directly to all Spanish or French books, select "Resources" then "World Languages."
