CODiE Awards Honor Learning A-Z; Reading A-Z, Raz-Kids

I'm proud to say that our Learning A-Z sites have been nominated for the 23rd Annual CODiE Awards. Since 1986, the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) has given CODiE awards to the products and sites that provide outstanding services, content and vision, and we are pleased to be recognized.

Learning A–Z and RAZ-Kids are finalists in the "Best Online Instructional Solution" category, and Reading A-Z is a finalist in the "Best K-12 Instructional Solution" category.

At Learning A–Z, we strive to create the highest-quality differentiated educational materials and offer them in an affordable downloadable format. We're grateful for the recognition offered by the CODiEs. Being named a finalist confirms that we are achieving our goal of making quality materials for teachers and students.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the educators and staff at Learning A–Z for their hard work and tremendous dedication to education. Even more importantly, thanks to our customers for your support and feedback, which help us constantly improve our products.

I have been a member of both reading a-z and raz-kids for many years. I am a believer! I love the immediate feedback my students get. I enjoy the ability to look at the data from their comprehension questions. The students enjoy the wide range of topics. The one thing I would love to see you incorporate is some word work or explicit skill work. I think this component would make this site even more valuable and unique! I currently develop my own word work material for the students to utilize at their level of need at another center. This addition to your already outstanding program would make it all complete.
