The students were honored Wednesday at award assemblies. A Learning Ally representative presented the students at both schools with three Chromebooks, three headphones and a $100 gift certificate for a party. The contest was made up entirely of students who struggle with reading. Using computers, tablets, smartphones and other hand-held devices, the students accessed Learning Ally’s collection of 82,000 human-narrated audiobook titles including textbooks, literature and popular fiction/nonfiction.
