For over 20 years,

00:00:05.090 --> 00:00:07.550
Learning A-Z
has been driven by a simple,

00:00:07.550 --> 00:00:09.460
yet critical question;

00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:11.490
what can we do
to support teachers more?

00:00:12.710 --> 00:00:15.060
Increasingly, school districts
of all sizes

00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:17.090
are embracing
the science of reading,

00:00:17.090 --> 00:00:19.400
the body of research
that informs best practices

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:21.400
for teaching students
to read and write.

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.200
We created Foundations

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:26.230
A-Z to harness science of
reading research for students,

00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:28.820
while providing teachers
with the resources they need,

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:30.730
exactly when they need it.

00:00:30.730 --> 00:00:33.950
With Foundations A-Z,
power meets choice.

00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:36.270
Teachers can choose
to follow the scope

00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.250
and sequence of Foundations
A-Z to deliver an explicit

00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:41.250
and systematic plan
with their students.

00:00:42.310 --> 00:00:46.020
Recognized as all green
by EdReports, Foundation

00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:48.560
A-Z is a high quality,
foundational program

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.030
designed to deliver
what students

00:00:50.030 --> 00:00:51.630
and teachers need to succeed.

00:00:52.450 --> 00:00:54.420
Or if they would prefer
to use the scope

00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:56.540
and sequence
of their own core curriculum,

00:00:56.540 --> 00:00:59.410
they can choose from Foundation
A-Z's extensive,

00:00:59.410 --> 00:01:01.790
grade appropriate
library of resources,

00:01:01.790 --> 00:01:05.210
including interactive videos,
decodable assets,

00:01:05.210 --> 00:01:07.030
and other multi-modal resources

00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:08.679
to help supplement
areas of need.

00:01:09.490 --> 00:01:11.580
Whichever way you choose
to use Foundations

00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:13.980
A-Z,
you can expect extra help

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:15.730
on your science
of reading journey.

00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:19.150
Foundations A-Z equips
teachers with resources

00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:22.000
to target students' skills
for reteaching purposes.

00:01:22.820 --> 00:01:24.640
Game-based practice
activities prompts

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.160
students with on-the-spot
feedback to correct

00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:28.809
and learn
from any mistakes made,

00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:32.510
without the need for immediate
assistance from the teacher.

00:01:32.510 --> 00:01:36.370
To help teachers, Foundations
A-Z auto-recommends resources

00:01:36.370 --> 00:01:39.160
to target the specific skills
needed for the class,

00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:41.690
or individual students
to reteach,

00:01:41.690 --> 00:01:44.330
reinforce
or enrich key concepts.

00:01:44.940 --> 00:01:48.200
Foundations A-Z also includes
an extensive library

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.130
of bite-sized, professional
development resources,

00:01:51.130 --> 00:01:53.720
like podcasts, coaching videos,

00:01:53.720 --> 00:01:55.950
and research articles
for on-demand answers

00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:57.700
for science of
reading questions.

00:01:58.340 --> 00:02:01.510
This wide range of short content
can be used on-demand

00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:03.870
to help build both knowledge
and confidence

00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:06.240
in science of reading-aligned
teaching methods.

00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:09.450
Bring the power of science
of reading research

00:02:09.450 --> 00:02:11.670
to classrooms
and students today,

00:02:11.670 --> 00:02:14.680
and take the guesswork out
of teaching foundational skills,

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.280
with Foundations A-Z.
