There’s something timeless about summer reading—the kind that brings back memories of long, unhurried days, favorite characters, and stories you never want to end. Invite your students to discover that same joy with the audiobook library to help them dive into a great book anytime, anywhere.
Celebrate Audiobook Appreciation Month by highlighting the engaging, accessible power of audiobooks. Our recently published study with MIT shows they can significantly improve students’ vocabulary and support literacy growth, especially for struggling readers. Learn more about this powerful evidence on our blog.
Summer Reading Together makes it easy to keep students engaged and reading all summer! Students can earn exciting prizes while educators and families can tap into ready-to-use resources designed to support independent reading at home. Don’t miss the Reading Road Trip book recommendations for every grade.
Please take a moment to ensure your students don’t lose access to the audiobook support they depend on. For struggling readers, uninterrupted access to Learning Ally’s library is critical for maintaining progress and staying engaged in independent reading. Contact us for help; our team is here to make renewing simple.

Join us in recognizing Shannon Sturgeon, an Exceptional Student Education teacher from Mort Elementary in Tampa, Florida. Shannon’s dedication, combining warmth, creativity, and a data-driven approach, helps the most reluctant students build confidence and lasting literacy skills. She expressed that she is “deeply humbled” by this award and is continually inspired by her students’ growth as learners.
The newest Dog Man adventure is here! Dog Man: Big Jim Believes is now available in the audiobook library. Students can dive into the latest action-packed installment and continue following their favorite hero with an engaging, accessible listening experience. Don’t miss the chance to bring even more excitement to independent reading this summer.
Encourage families to prioritize reading this summer by sharing the parent flyer with your students’ families and caregivers. This is especially important for students who haven’t engaged much (or at all) with reading this year, and summer offers a fresh, low-pressure opportunity to build confidence and spark interest. A simple share can help families support reading habits at home.

“With the wide selection of audiobooks available, I am able to match students with the same text as their peers for book clubs throughout the year, so not reading at grade level isn’t a factor for participating in these collaborative groups.”
– Sandra Lundgren, Library and Media Services Director
