Reading  is  considered  to  be  one  of  the  most  important
                               academic skills in schools. Being able to read is essential for

                               students to learn other subjects. For example, students are

                               required to read directions, word problems, and passages in
                               textbooks when learning math, science and social studies.

                               Raz-Kids is an online reading system developed by Learning
                               A-Z that is used in many international schools around the
                               world.

                               Using this system, children have access to:
                                  •   Over  1600+  e-books  (and  increasing)  of  various

                                      genres and reading levels
                                  •   Listening,  Reading  and  Comprehension  features  for
                                      each book.

                                  •   Assignment homework set by their teacher.
                                  •   Freedom to choose what books they want to read for
                                      their enjoyment.
                                  •   Incentive  Program  –  Students  earn  stars  for  the
                                      activities  to  do.  These  stars  can  be  used  to  build

                                      their robot.


                               Our  students  of  grades  5  to  8  at  GIHS  found  it  more

                               interesting and engage themselves in reading and carrying
                               out the activities to earn the stars.
