“I just wanted to express<br />

my thanks <strong>for</strong> a job<br />

well done. My class of<br />

kindergarten students<br />

LOVE going on<br />

Raz-Kids.com. Often,<br />

they go there <strong>for</strong> their<br />

free time play. They are<br />

highly motivated to read<br />

and I find it a wonderful<br />

way to get leveled books<br />

into the hands of my early<br />

readers. Bless you all, <strong>for</strong><br />

what you are providing <strong>for</strong><br />

education!”<br />
