When you want to login as a student to Raz-Kids’ Student Portal, you will find a bunch of sections including the Level Up, Flight Check, My Assignment, Reading Room and more. Certainly, if you are new to Raz-Kids, you may be confused what each section on Student Portal is for.
However, each section provided in Raz-Kids Student Portal has a certain function when you’re working with Raz-Kids. One of the most asked sections in Student Portal is Flight Check as this section will appear and disappear sometimes. So, let’s learn about the Flight Check section on our post below!
What Is the Flight Check?
You may be wondering why the Flight Check sometimes appears and disappears. However, the Flight Check section will appear when the teachers assign a digital Running Record using Benchmark Passage or the Books to the students.
Well, the students who get a digital assignment for reading a passage will see the Flight Check appear in the Student Portal. Through the Flight Check section, the teachers will easily assess a student’s reading level digitally, recognize high-frequency words or to name letters.
When you get a passage as a digital assignment, you can then complete the assignment by reading while recording, retelling what you have read, and answering the questions related to the passage that the teacher has assigned to you.
Once you have completed the three-steps of your assignment, you definitely will earn the stars after answering the questions. If you go back to the Student Portal, you will not see the Flight Check section as your assignment has been completed and sent to your teacher.
