How we help
How Learning Ally helps
Tools that build early language and comprehension
Human-read, authentic e-books
High-interest children’s fiction and nonfiction that expose students to rich vocabulary and age-appropriate concepts, even before they can decode all the words on the page.
Themed text sets
Books organized around topics like communities, insects, gardens, science, and the arts, helping children make connections across stories and subjects.
Read-aloud and think-aloud support
Ready-made guides that prompt teachers and caregivers to model comprehension strategies, ask high-quality questions, and spark discussion during read-aloud time.
Short daily routines
Activities designed to fit into 10 minutes a day, making it realistic to build vocabulary and background knowledge consistently.
Progress tracking and assessments
Optional comprehension checks aligned with standards so educators can monitor growth and adjust support for early readers.
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 Excite Reading helps young children get ready to read
Research shows that strong reading requires both word recognition and language comprehension; many children need extra support with vocabulary and background knowledge before decoding catches up.
Excite Reading® gives adults a structured way to read rich, engaging texts out loud and discuss them, so children build the knowledge and language they will use later when they start reading more independently.
