National Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month—the perfect time to help students experience the rhythm, emotion, and power of language through poetry. With our audiobook library, students can hear poems brought to life, making it easier to build fluency, deepen comprehension, and spark interest in the beauty of verse.

 

Popcorn and Popsicle Prizes

Spring Into Reading continues through April 24! Schools that get at least five additional registered students reading will be entered to win a popsicle or popcorn celebration, with winners at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. It’s a simple, fun way to boost participation and give your students something exciting to work toward this spring!

It’s a low-prep way to help students make the most of spare moments for independent reading, which helps them strengthen reading stamina and keeps their skills sharp. Students can prepare ahead of testing days by adding books to their bookshelves.

A Visit To The Incredible Rawson Saunders School

Our team recently visited our incredible literacy partners at the Rawson Saunders School, an inspiring school that has long championed the Audiobook Solution to help students with dyslexia access the books they need to learn and thrive. We loved touring the campus and spending time with their exceptional leadership team, and we thank them for the warm welcome and for the meaningful work they do every day to support students with dyslexia.

From the Classroom

“My best experience with Learning Ally was when I have had parents who are thankful for the program. Their children are able to read the same novel that the class is reading.  Parents can listen along with their children in order to engage in discussions about the books that we are reading in class.”
– Amy Weinert, General Educator
