DVUSD Digital Resources

DVUSD pays for several digital programs for our students to use because we believe that they are highly engaging and beneficial to students. Below are the top 2 reading programs we encourage students to use at home.

 

Raz-Kids (K-3)

Raz-Kids   Students read books and answer comprehension questions in order to earn stars toward building their digital rocket ship. Please remind your child that he/she needs to be in the Level Up section in order to earn points and read within his/her reading level. However, the Book Room is an open library for students to read any level book for pleasure. This program is available on the Raz-Kids website (raz-kids.com, then click the green Kids Login button) or as an app for phones and tablets (search Kids A-Z). If your child doesn't know his/her log in information please contact Mrs. Flores or your child's teacher. This login will be different from your child's regular DVUSD login. 

 

Amplify Reading (K-5)

Students utilize this program during school hours so they should be familiar with how to log in. Simply have them go the DVUSD start page (start.dvusd.org) then log in to the Start Page (top right corner). Students should use their normal DVUSD login that they use for everything at school. If you need your child's login information please contact Mrs. Flores or your child's teacher.

Once they are logged into the Start Page, they will have the same layout as they see at school. For access to Amplify, students click on the blue Clever tile, then click the orange Amplify tile. Finally, students select Amplify Reading (picture of all the animals). The software naturally guides students where they need to go for individualized learning. Please do not help your child while he/she is on Amplify because the program responds to your child's progress and automatically adjusts. If you provide too much help, the system will give your student more challenging questions. If your child gets something wrong, the system will reteach the skill and give your child more practice later.
