Learning Ally and the Bay State

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has provided funding for a limited number of K-12 public school students to support their struggling readers with the Learning Ally Audiobook Solution.

New Site-Wide Funding for Massachusetts Schools

Great news! The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is now prioritizing Site-Based Licensing to ensure every student in a building can succeed.

Unlike the older seat-based model that limited access to a specific number of students, a Site License provides unlimited access for all eligible students at your school.

We are currently collecting interest for a limited number of these comprehensive school-wide licenses for schools that do not currently have access.

To register your school’s interest in moving to this unlimited access model, please fill out this form.

For further questions, please contact Jennifer Dougherty at jdougherty@learningally.org or 617.500.2712.

Individual Student Seat Waitlist

Legacy Seat-Based Licensing—which provides access for a limited number of individual student accounts—is currently at full capacity under the Massachusetts state grant.

Because all available individual seats are assigned, we are maintaining a priority waitlist for future openings.

If your school is not yet eligible for a full Site License, you can place individual students with dyslexia or other print disabilities on the waitlist.

This ensures your students are first in line if additional seats become available through program reallocations for the 2025–2026 school year.
