With the right mindset and support, educators and families can uncover the often-hidden signs of dyslexia and ensure students get the help they need to thrive.

Navigating the world of education as a teacher or school leader means constantly seeking new ways to support every student. For the millions of students with dyslexia and other learning differences, finding resources that cultivate a sense of belonging and authority is essential. This is why strong reading habits are so powerful! Use this bookwalk filled with titles to spark conversation and build empathy in your classroom.
We’re in the final stretch of Learning Ally’s Race to Read—the competition ends October 31st! Schools with at least 10% of their enrolled and eligible students actively reading in the Learning Ally Audiobook Solution by the deadline will be entered into a drawing to win a class set of earbuds, and in the meantime, be sure to take advantage of the free classroom resources on our website. Keep your students motivated to cross the finish line!!
Designed with teachers in mind, this flexible training builds a strong foundation in understanding dyslexia and how to support struggling readers. Educators experience a powerful simulation, learn common signs, and explore instructional practices that make a difference. Affordable, effective, and highly rated by thousands of educators, our Dyslexia Awareness program also meets state training requirements and includes training for families.
Make the most of October with our print and digital calendars. Designed to celebrate learning in fun, meaningful ways, both the print and digital options highlight holidays, observances, Learning Ally events, and reading programs. It’s easy to print, click, or post for your colleagues and students!
We invite you to join our Audiobook Office Hours, an interactive meeting on the first Thursday of each month (4 PM ET/1 PM PT). We encourage you to bring questions and feedback. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and empowered in using the Audiobook Solution to support your students and achieve your learning objectives. Both new users and seasoned pros will find value in this time together.
The path to reading success is deeply connected to reading at home, where everyday experiences shape a child’s love of learning. Use this resource to learn how the brain develops reading skills, why it matters for families, and share some fun ways to bring literacy into daily routines outside of school. When educators and families work together, it creates a foundation for lifelong learning.
Learning Ally stands beside educators, giving them the tools and strategies they need to unlock every reader’s potential while supporting students with learning differences.
