The collections in the Nonfiction Series featured inconsistent ancillary materials and lack pedagogical coherence. Additionally, many of the topics are outdated and may not reflect the interests or relevance needed for today’s elementary learners.
Importantly, none of the books in these collections have been removed from Raz-Plus. Educators can still access these titles through:
Books & Passages by Grade/Level
Books by Skill
Books by Topic
Teachers can also use the search function to locate specific content resources. Additionally, comprehension materials are now organized into Informational Text and Literature categories, making it easier to find genre-specific support.
