===History===
The Learning A-Z family of websites were started in 2002 by former educators and educational publishers Bob Holl and Francis Morgan. Holl and Morgan began the sites with the mission that every child should have developmentally appropriate books and activities, at school and at home. The company initially began with LearningPage.com, which provides free printable activities, and ReadingA-Z.com, a reading resource subscription website. In addition to free sites like LearningPage.com, SitesForTeachers.com and SitesForParents.com, there are six subscription Web sites now under the Learning A-Z umbrella offering various classroom resources. They are ReadingA-Z.com, Raz-Kids.com, VocabularyA-Z.com, WritingA-Z.com, ScienceA-Z.com and Reading-Tutors.com, all of which deliver research-based resources for both teachers and students. In 2010, Learning A-Z started a corporate partnership with WeAreTeachers.com, a networking Web site created to recognize and reward innovative teaching ideas. Learning A-Z sponsors cash grants for teachers with innovative learning ideas. <br> <br>
