This year, you and a teacher colleague of your choice could both win free, year-long subscriptions to two of our most popular literacy solutions: Raz-Plus and Foundations A-Z. These solutions are carefully crafted to support Science of Reading-aligned literacy instruction, focusing on strengthening foundational skills and reading comprehension.

Built on the Science of Reading, Foundations A-Z is an explicit, systematic, K-5 foundational skills solution that integrates clearly modeled lessons, embedded professional development, and independent practice opportunities. It’s an award-winning solution, receiving “all green” ratings from EdReports and SIIA CODiE Award for “Best Science of Reading / Foundational Skills Solution,” that will simplify teachers’ instructional planning and accelerate student outcomes.
Enhanced Literacy Instruction: By participating in this grant program, you gain access to tools that boost your literacy instruction. Raz-Plus offers a wealth of reading materials and comprehension resources, while Foundations A-Z focuses on foundational skills through a scope and sequence that informs explicit and systematic instruction. These resources empower you to boost literacy for all your students.

Both Raz-Plus and Foundations A-Z have additional Professional Development resources including webinars, video series, and documentation to help you get started, align your new resources to your instructional goals, and support student learning. Grant winners also receive personalized Professional Development resources throughout the grant period.
