Kids A-Z Hack 5.59.0 + Redeem Codes

The latest update to the user interface removed the rocket ship tracking my kids reading progress. Instead replaced it with a circle and number of activities left. This change is not a good one. My kids loved seeing the visualization of their hard work and got very excited when they “leveled up” which is no longer get there.

Also, why does it only count books accessed through the “level up!” button and not through the “reading room” button? My daughter read lots of books through the reading room but didn’t get credit for them when she went into level up!

I’ve been using Headsprout and RazKids for almost ten years in my classroom. In the past year it has gotten very buggy. It freezes while loading, crashes, or in Headsprout it started returning students to the screen where they need to select Headsprout or the book room after every single activity. It’s great when it works but lately it doesn’t, not on the app or browser (safari or chrome) on iOS, not on PCs in Chrome. Updates haven’t fixed anything and it seems to be getting worse. Students understandably get so upset when it freezes and they lose their progress and it wastes my time to try and troubleshoot and find workarounds. FIX THE SOFTWARE. We use other apps and software without issue and school subscriptions are reevaluated yearly. There’s no need to spend money if it doesn’t work. UPDATE: Instead of fixing Headsprout or incorporating it into their counterintuitive and obsolete the day it was released Foundations A-Z program, they shut it down. Headsprout was the best thing they ever put out and the reason is that they bought it from another company. I’m done with it. Reading Eggs is a pretty good replacement, but I will miss using Headsprout since it was a good supplementary program with a different and complimentary teaching order that really taught students to read.

This app was the system my son and I used to improve his English reading by 40% in 1 school quarter. This app is better than the others because it has reading levels that tailor to child’s reading level, it has an audio book option, key word definitions at the end of book, questions at the end of each book to check on comprehension, and a reward system that motivated my son to read. I remain involved in my son’s learning by having him read to me to ensure he was putting forth a proper effort, but it is great having questions with multiple answers at the end of the books instead of me trying to think of good questions. I was told by his 2nd grade teacher that because he is ESL his English reading was behind by half a grade. My son has used this app via DODDEA schools daily and twice on weekends to get caught up. I only wish DODDEA would have kept the contract with RAZ Kids so we can continue to use it.

Usually the parents are the ones rating the educated apps that their kids play, but actually this time it’s the kid writing the review! So basically my tutor wanted me to do this app so I downloaded it, and sadly as a 4th grader it’s pretty easy for me. I don’t know if there’s something that will help me make it a bit harder because this app is made to help you learn and there’s no point in using it if your just doing reviewed stuff that you already know. Could the developers possibly tell me how to make it harder? I’m hoping that this app will turn out useful for me! I looked at the other reviews and apparently 2nd graders & 1st graders do this. My tutor obviously knows that I’m a 4th grader and so then there must be a way to make it harder. So like I said, could I get some information on how to make it harder from the developers?

My daughter began using app last year, her kindergarten teacher sent home flyer w/instructions, & Teacher already had all the classmates name, so made it easy. This app is excellent for new readers, app has level books, plenty of books. I have searched for books w/that have A Level B Level etc & could not find any to purchase, thanks to this amazing app we now have access to plenty of Level Books for my 1st grade daughter😀 My daughter practices reading on this app daily, everyday she comes home settles down from school & open app reads 3 books & 2 books before bed. We have downloaded a bunch of learning apps but my daughter never seemed to like any, until A-Z App was introduced last year, THANKFUL FOR HER KINDERGARTEN TEACHER MS. FIRNHABER @ MAREE G. FARRING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, this seems like a good app for students to use. However, they need more options for support. There seems to be a glitch at level J right now. On the parent page, it shows that my child has completed 59/59 activities to move to level K. On the student page, it says she has one more activity to do to move up, but there are no activities available, so she’s stuck at level J. I tried emailing their support email, but got an auto-reply that it is not monitored and to use the chat option. However, it seems that their support chat is only available during typical M-F office hours, which is when a lot of parents are working. I wish they had someone available at least a couple hours in the evening or on Saturday.

This is a great app but there should be some changes.

1. Hackers. My classmate kept on hacking me for no reason. There should be Face ID for privacy. I am not gonna tell you who hacked me, but it should just change.

2. Books. Why aren’t there any Spanish / Español books in the level up section? It just makes no sense. And also, it just has less books. There should be a favorite section because I sometimes favorite a book and I might want to read it again, like “Can I vote”, “ Arthur’s Bad News Day”, etc.

3. Others. Why can’t I change my password? Why can’t I delete stuff in the Avatar Builder? Why can’t I give stars? It’s just nonsense. I wish this improved like this. Sometimes the quiz questions are too hard, and later it doesn’t let you do the quiz again when you fail unless if you read it again. There should be some hints in quizzes. When people don’t do their homework assignment on Raz-Kids, why can’t it take stars away or get punishments? This is really nonsense.

I would not recommend this app to anyone because it should have some nice changes going on and not nonsense. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this. Thank You!

The layout of your buttons in the read & record session absolutely need reorganized. The fact you have the pause/start button a millimeter away from the stop button is a MASSIVE design flaw. These are kids, pausing their recordings to practice, only to accidentally press the stop button by mistake. It leads to them getting extremely frustrated and wanting to quit because they lose the ability to continue recording and have to start over.
Seriously, move the buttons around. Make the stop button harder to press by accident. Help motivate the kids instead of creating a negative experience due to poorly thought out designs.

I cant believe how good this is...the best reading app for all schools! Most recommended for elementary school, but I think in middle school I'll want to do this a lot still! Maybe get to the chapter books. Yeahhhhh. This is awesome! Grades K-5 are most recommended for using this. Almost already said that. Wait I did 😄! Wow I love this game so bad I could nearly hate it. Or dislike, either one. NOT 1%, NOT EVEN 0.1% I DISLIKE THIS GAME! I actually meant app, replace all the game (s) words with app. Lol not in the game silly, on the text. You deserve to be a world wide, famous, most popular, reading app creator ever. Epic too. You know, the app Epic? Yeah. Similar to this.

so guys I feel bad for writing this but some books don’t make sense and even the quiz room don’t make sense I like but a answer the does make sense but then it says wrong answer and that was right but yeah guys if you had that tell me and when I’m an a new grade it takes all my stars and I had a lot of stars and it deleted all it’s so unfair😡😡😡 like I have to do this for homework to get to 100 minutes and some books are so boring but I have to do it for work so guys I’m really mad that I lost my stars but yeah I only read books that has a trouble because it makes the book fun to Read but yeah and like it deleted all my levels when I got to 2nd grade like I want the owner to fix this because it’s so unfair and when I’m doing my reading or my quiz it takes out and goes back to iPad screen
