“My best experience with Learning Ally was watching a student with dyslexia realize that she actually enjoyed reading and could read really great books with Learning Ally. She was a very reluctant reader because decoding was hard for her. Together we found a book that interested her and it was like a whole new world opened up. Learning Ally became her constant companion in the classroom.”
