Learning A-Z Wins Three Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence

The Raz-Plus^®, Writing A-Z^®, and Foundations A-Z^® solutions are essential literacy tools for elementary classrooms

Learning A-Z, a Cambium Learning Group brand, announced today that three solutions, Raz-Plus^®, Writing A-Z^®, and Foundations A-Z^®, have earned the 2023 Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence in the Back to School Primary Education category. Tech & Learning is an award-winning resource providing “factual and evaluative information on trends, products and strategies to education leaders who purchase technology products.”

Foundations A-Z, Raz-Plus, and Writing A-Z work together and independently to deliver Science of Reading-aligned K-6 instructional resources for teachers to confidently deliver comprehensive literacy instruction. Teachers can cover foundational skills, enhance reading comprehension, improve writing, and develop student grammar, all based on the latest research on how students learn best, according to the company.

“These programs not only support the development of critical foundational skills such as decoding and fluency but further engage students in reading comprehension and writing, which have been found to all be critical components for developing comprehensive literacy proficiency,” said company Interim President Aaron Ingold. “Literacy is both reading and writing, and it’s a big job to teach it all. That’s why we developed these programs and are so proud of this award. Teachers not only need the right tools to provide instruction and reteach difficult areas but to also offer meaningful practice opportunities.”
