Conclusion of Mansfield’s Raz-Kids Summer Reading 2014!


We had over 50 students log on during our final week and 20 of them logged on 4 or more times and received the 500 Bonus Star prize!  Congratulations to all!

Please take a minute to fill out the evaluation survey of the Mansfield Summer Raz Kids program.  All responses are confidential and help us to improve our summer programing.


Thank you to all the parents for your support!  It’s been wonderful to be part of your student’s reading journey. I am really impressed with the excitement the students have for reading and also the effort they put into it!  What a great start to the school year they should have.  I will be sending a report to all of the kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 teachers so that they can check in on progress that was made over the summer. 

Just a reminder that our official summer program though Mansfield Public Schools is complete.  Your child will NOT be able to access the program after August 19th because class lists will be changed to be used for the school year. 

Use of the Raz-Kids program during the school year will be up to the individual teacher.  If you find that your child’s teacher is a participant in the program, your child will continue his/her progress from where he/she left off over the summer unless the teacher feels that a level needs to be reviewed.

Once again, thank you for all of your support in keeping your child/children reading throughout the summer!  Enjoy the school year ahead!

Best wishes,
Karen LeFevre

Welcome to Week 7! The final week of Raz-Kids Summer Reading!

It has been a great summer so far and many students have been able to move up levels in Raz-Kids with all the time spent reading.  I’m hoping the excitement keeps up for the last week as well!
Last challenge! Students who log on at least 4 times and read for at least 20 minutes, each time this week, will be awarded the highest number of stars available for me to give out…500 Bonus Stars!
Students who log on 3x and read for at least 20 minutes each time will receive 150 Bonus Stars.
This is our last official week of the Mansfield Summer Raz Reading Program.

Tip of the Week: After your child listens to a story this week, have him/her read the story aloud to you and discuss it together before he/she takes the quiz.

Thanks for all of your support in keeping your child/children reading throughout the summer!

Welcome to Week 6 of Raz-Kids Summer Reading!


Challenge! Challenge!  Challenge!
If your child logs on 4x this week for 20 minutes each time they will receive:
300 BONUS STARS!
That’s double the amount of stars from the last challenge!
(Plus more if they complete a level!)

Tip of the Week: Continue to encourage your child to read each week! Did you know that many Raz-Kids books include fascinating video clips that bring information alive for readers? For example, the clips in Ants, Ants, and More Ants (level G) and Plight of the Polar Bear will make interesting topics even more engaging for students.

Thanks for all of your support in keeping your child/children reading throughout the summer!

Did you get to read yet?  What was your favorite book so far this summer?
