Each year when school begins, educators must quickly assess new students to understand how best to support their reading and learning process. Getting students access to text is difficult enough, but getting them to read at acceptable rates to grow academically is a bigger challenge. 

At Learning Ally, we are fortunate to partner with so many dedicated educators across our nation who understand the importance of integrating our Audiobook Solution with fidelity into their regular instructional practice. For this accomplishment, we are thrilled to recognize those educators awarded with our 2023 Literacy Leadership status for providing accessible educational books and literature that have enabled more students to increase their academic growth and reach their reading goals. 

What is fidelity of implementation? 

To achieve Literacy Leadership status, during the school year at least 20% of students at each school are reading and at least half were reading to success, i.e. (reading 30 days or more with Learning Ally). Our studies show that when students read with fidelity, they can double their rate of reading growth. With this accomplishment, these literacy leading educators have made it possible for their students to improve reading outcomes on measures of academic achievement, experience greater self-confidence in their learning process, and benefit from social emotional outcomes, like understanding and keeping pace with classmates, classwork and class discussions. 

For this important accomplishment, please join Learning Ally in congratulating these outstanding educators who have agreed to be recognized in this blog:
