Happily, not to be snarky, but we really, really dislike Raz Kids. The readers are just not good quality texts-- they are stylistically appalling and not very interesting. The questions they ask about the text are based on rote memorization of what's in the text, only infrequently genuine comprehension, and never *interesting.*

Raz is required by our school, but it is a struggle to get my child to do them... and I don't feel guilty about skipping that particular piece of homework.
