Making the Transition:
From Prescriptive to Empowering

While it’s difficult to say goodbye to a solution that has served classrooms well, retiring Headsprout will allow Learning A-Z to focus on creating and maintaining solutions that keep teachers at the foundation of student success, empower their instruction, and support their professional development – all while helping students crack the literacy code earlier in their learning.

We believe that equipping educators with an explicit, systematic research-based solution that builds and strengthens foundational literacy skills is the best way to reduce reliance on remediation needs in the future. For Learning A-Z, the future of foundational literacy is Foundations A-Z.

Headsprout will officially retire from the Learning A-Z bookbag on October 1, 2024. This means that on this date, Headsprout teachers and students will no longer be able to sign in to their accounts and access Headsprout curriculum.

The last full day to use Headsprout will be on September 30, 2024.

By adding Foundations A-Z licenses to your account on or before August 1, 2023, you’ll retain access to Headsprout at no additional cost through Headsprout’s retirement date or until your Foundations A-Z licenses expire. ( Terms apply.)

For example, if you purchase one Foundations A-Z license, you’ll retain access to one Headsprout license. If you purchase 35 Foundations A-Z licenses, you’ll retain access to 35 Headsprout licenses.

The Foundations A-Z Opt-In Incentive allows current Headsprout users to purchase Foundations A-Z and retain access to Headsprout licenses at no additional cost through Headsprout’s retirement date. This means that for each Foundations A-Z license on your account, you’ll have access to one Headsprout account at no additional charge. ( Terms apply.)

This gives you the opportunity to continue supporting students who need individualized literacy support while trialing Foundations A-Z with your whole class.

Users who currently have Headsprout on their account can opt-in to this incentive on or before August 1, 2023 to retain access through Headsprout’s retirement. Reach out to your Sales Executive or to Customer Support for more information.

Purchase Foundations A-Z licenses on or before August 1, 2023 and retain access to an equal number of Headsprout licenses at no additional cost until Headsprout retires or your Foundations A-Z licenses expire, whichever date comes first. This means that for every Foundations A-Z license that is on your account on or before August 1, 2023, you’ll have access to one Headsprout license at no additional cost. ( Terms apply.)

For example, if you purchase one Foundations A-Z license before August 1, 2023, you’ll retain access to one Headsprout license through Headsprout’s retirement or until your Foundations A-Z license expires, whichever date comes first.

The best way to learn about Foundations A-Z is to start a two-week free trial, but you can also visit the Foundations A-Z overview page, take a product tour, or reach out to a Sales Executive for a demo.
