Learning A-Z Reaches More Than 6 Billion Digital Books Read

DALLAS, Oct. 24, 2017 -- Learning A-Z, an online provider of PreK–6 teacher and student resources and part of Cambium Learning Group, Inc., continues to reach monumental milestones, announcing today that students have read over 6 billion leveled eBooks from its Raz-Plus and Raz-Kids websites.

Raz-Plus is a blended learning platform that combines teacher-led instruction, independent practice, strategic assessment and detailed reporting to strengthen the connection between what is being taught and what students practice on their own. Raz-Plus provides students with personalized reading practice and offers more than 50,000 reading resources, including an extensive collection of leveled books and accompanying quizzes, reading passages, lesson plans, and collaborative skill-building activities. All Learning A-Z leveled eBooks include interactive text mark-up tools, as well as word and reflection journals to promote student engagement. Data collected from student reading activity is reported to the teacher to help inform instruction.

Raz-Kids provides a digital library of developmentally appropriate, high-interest eBooks and eQuizzes. Hundreds of thousands of times each day, Raz-Kids is accessed by students across the world. It is an effective supplemental resource that encourages students to love reading.

“Our goal is to support educators and inspire students to keep reading and learning,” said Bob Holl, president and cofounder of Learning A-Z. “We are very proud of all the students who contributed to reaching this milestone, and we are thrilled to have made—and to continue to make—such a positive impact on literacy around the globe. We strive to create effective, easily accessible, developmentally appropriate resources that promote students’ literacy development. Reaching this six billion eBook milestone reinforces our commitment to building worldwide literacy.”

With supportive features such as authentic-voice audio, self-recording, and clickable words, students can build fluency, improve vocabulary, and enhance comprehension while acquiring worldly knowledge that comes from reading.
