My Take
I wish there is a way to set up different reading levels for the different languages. The problem I have is that my student's accounts are set up for their reading level in English so they have to change it every time we are using it in Spanish.
How I Use It
My students are able listen to Spanish books and also read them at the same time. It is really helpful to have this resource to be able to work on their reading level. It works in the class because they love reading and it keeps track of their progress.

Decent for a quick assessment
In general, RAZ-kids works for me in terms of getting a quick assessment from students. I appreciate that I can get a running record from every student with 5-10 minutes of effort (on their end). It's also nice that I can assign individual students/groups books/stories at their levels. That being said, my students don't love the books that are on this site.
