I got this in my email today. I apologize if it's already been posted (though I went back to check and didn't see it!).

So my link didn't work. This is what the email said:

I couldn't wait until the next newsletter to let you know about this special offer from the Learning A-Z company, as it ends on November 6.

The guys at Learning A-Z have come up with a special that I think you'll want to take advantage of. They're giving free trials to ALL their subscription websites.

Learning A-Z, in their websites, provides downloadable, printable, projectable, and online resources for K-6 classrooms. Sign up for a free 7-day trial by November 6, 2009 and experience the sites for yourself!

The sites may not be for you, but this is a great opportunity to check them out, download materials and test them out.

You can get free trials to one, or all, of the following sites:

1. Reading A-Z
--------------
Filled with thousands of books at 27 levels of difficulty, ReadingA-Z.com provides resources for teaching reading and improving comprehension. Also contains assessments, worksheets, lesson plan templates, and many other teacher resources.

2. Raz-Kids
-----------
Raz-Kids.com is an interactive reading site where kids can read or listen to hundreds of animated books and songs online -- anytime, anywhere!

3. Science A-Z
--------------
ScienceA-Z.com delivers science curriculum resources, organized by unit themes and grouped by grade level, for elementary teachers to teach a concept at each student's appropriate reading level.

4. Writing A-Z
--------------
WritingA-Z.com provides teachers with all the resources necessary to teach writing.

5. Vocabulary A-Z
-----------------
VocabularyA-Z.com ontains thousands of words placed in different categories. Teachers can also build their own vocabulary lists and lessons!

You have to sign up before November 6, 2009 to take advantage of this special offer. I encourage you to try out some of these websites, if you have time to only check out one, I'd try Raz-Kids. It's got animated stories and songs.

That's great! I'm browsing the website but can't come up with any free trial or anything... I know our resource room teacher is very interested, so I'm trying to figure it out for her. I'm going to do a little browsing on the internet if there's a code or something...

That is interesting. I received an email today but look at my date. - November 13, not November 6, like yours. Maybe they are staggering the dates this year ... to handle all the traffic.

Today’s best teachers meet the unique needs of every student. That’s where ###########.com comes in. Through six integrated websites, ###########.com provides a wealth of downloadable, printable, projectable, and online resources for every K-6 classroom. But don’t take our word for it — sign up for a free 7-day trial by November 13, 2009 and experience the sites for yourself!

My links aren't printing out either.

Here we go! Hope this works! Thank you, Socks!!

Don't know why that doesn't work, but type in "learning a-z" where those # signs are...but without the spaces. Odd.

Thanks, I just signed up for writing a-z. I've heard good things! I can't wait to try it out.

Have you checked with anyone in your school? When I signed up (tonight 11-4) it gave me a chance to send 5 friends a link to a free trial, so maybe someone at your school has it and can send you a link? Not sure why yours doesn't work. I got the email on the 29th and forgot all about it because of parties and getting sick, but it still gave me a week, it says it expires on the 13th.

Could I use some help from you guys? Our literacy coach provided us with an free account that was good for 7 days, but I've been on a trip and attending trainings, so I haven't had time to download all the awesome materials over there (I'm especially interested in the Spanish books for Kinder). Do you have any invitation left, or a link that lets me have the trial again?

Thank you very much.

All right, I got it, thanks though.
