Tucson, AZ—May 22, 2020—Learning A-Z has announced that the 2020 SIIA CODiE Awards have selected Raz-Plus ELL Edition as a finalist for Best ESL, ELL or World Language Acquisition Solution
and Science A-Z as a finalist for Best STEM Instructional Solution for Grades PK-8.
Acknowledged as the premier awards program for the software and information industries for 35 years, the SIIA CODiE Awards are produced by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA). The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry’s only peer-reviewed awards program. Educators and administrators serve as judges and conduct the first-round review of all education nominees.
“Last year, Raz-Plus won the 2019 CODiE Award for Best Reading/Writing/Literature Instructional Solution for Grades PreK–8, and we’re delighted that this year the ELL Edition is a finalist for Best ELL Solution. This is also the third year in a row that Science A-Z is a CODiE Award finalist or winner in science or STEM,” said Lisa O’Masta, president of Learning A-Z. “To be recognized by such an esteemed awards program year after year demonstrates that our solutions are having a powerful impact on student outcomes.”
Raz-Plus ELL Edition delivers thousands of standards-aligned resources designed specifically to help English language learners (ELLs) develop proficiency in social and academic English. Reading, listening, speaking, and writing materials, with integrated grammar and vocabulary support, are organized in content-area topics at multiple grade ranges and proficiency levels. Combined with assessment and reporting tools and an engaging student portal, Raz-Plus ELL Edition helps teachers maximize learning for every student.
Science A-Z supports a three-dimensional approach to science instruction, delivering thousands of resources in life science, earth and space science, physical science, engineering, and process science. In addition to a robust library of multilevel informational texts, the K–6 curriculum includes lesson plans, teachers’ guides, engaging science experiments, hands-on activities, and other collaborative learning opportunities that allow students to think and act like scientists.
“We are thrilled to unveil the 2020 CODiE Award finalists, the best in education technology,” said Jeff Joseph, SIIA president. “These exciting innovations are setting the pace to improve outcomes in education for students, educators, and administrators.”
