• Flipgrid

    Flipgrid is a great way for students and me to share reading, ideas, activities and some fun. Your child make a recording according to the assigned task. There is a 5-minute limit. I will either "star" your child's response," leave a vibe" or send a recorded reply. Follow these steps to access my Flipgrids:

    Go to Flipgrid.com  

    On the top left bar, you will see "Enter a Flipgrid Code". Choose that.  

    Enter my Flipgrid code: snoopyfan and click the arrow  

    You will see this: Mrs. Sacco's Reading Center by Lindsey Downey, Sarah Sacco  

                                          Enter ID : firtsinitiallastinitial2020 (if you have a different id, I sent a separate email) 

                                                          check the "Remember Me" box for future use  

    You are now in "Mrs. Sacco's Reading Center". Look on the right for topics and a blue down arrow; click on the arrow.

    Choose the assigned grid. Find the large green circle with a white plus sign and click it.

    Click on the red camera button when you are ready to record. You have 5 minutes, but you do not have to use all 5 minutes.

  • Reading A-Z

    Reading A-Z, also known as RAZ Kids and RAZ Plus, offers your child books on his/her guided reading level. As your child moves through the library of leveled books, he/she will have the opportunity to "level up". Students read and move through levels at their pace. After reading, your child will have the chance to complete a short quiz. Recording while reading is also a feature of this website. Follow these steps to access RAZ.

    RAZ:

    Go to  www.kidsa-z.com 

    Enter your teacher's code: 1st grade is ssacco4 and 2nd- 5th grade is sacco5

    Enter your username: firstinitiallastinitial (Caps)

    Enter the password: Read 

    Some students have a different username because some studennts share the same initials; no student can have the same username. Those students were sent their username via email.
