WHO WE SERVE
How Learning Ally supports students reading below grade level
Students who read below grade level often understand more than they can comfortably read on the page. Our audio e-books give them a way to access the same content their classmates are seeing, so they can follow lessons, complete assignments, and build knowledge while their reading skills catch up.
How we help
How Learning Ally helps
Tools that make grade-level reading more accessible
Human-read audiobooks
Narration that makes textbooks, novels, and classroom reading more understandable and less tiring for striving readers.
Synchronized text highlighting
Highlighted text that moves with the audio, helping students track words, stay focused, and connect print with sound.
Adjustable listening tools
Controls for playback speed and other settings so students can listen at a pace that feels comfortable and supports comprehension.
Access to grade-level curriculum
A large library of school textbooks and required reading, so students can engage with the same content as their peers even when independent decoding is hard.
Not sure if this is the right fit?
Learning Ally is built for kids and adults with dyslexia, low vision, blindness, or reading below grade level. There’s no diagnosis or account needed to find out.
Why audiobooks help students reading below grade level
Reading below grade level often means students spend so much effort sounding out words that it is harder to focus on meaning. Audio e-books reduce that strain and let students put more attention on understanding ideas, building vocabulary, and keeping up with what the class is learning.
