WHO WE SERVE
Students with Dyslexia
Help students with dyslexia access grade-level books, reduce reading frustration, and stay engaged with learning through human-read audiobooks and reading supports.
Reading support that meets students where they are
Students with dyslexia often understand more than they can comfortably decode on the page. Learning Ally helps bridge that gap by giving students access to human-read audiobooks, so they can engage with classroom content, literature, and ideas while their reading skills continue to develop.
This kind of support can help reduce frustration, improve access to grade-level material, and keep students connected to learning instead of falling behind because print is hard to access.
How Learning Ally helps
Human-read audio e-books
Students can listen to high-quality, human-read books that make classroom texts and stories more accessible.
Synchronized text highlighting
Highlighted text helps students follow along as they listen, which can increase engagement, retention, and comprehension.
Adjustable reading support
Built-in listening tools, including adjustable speed, help students find a pace that works for them and build a more comfortable reading experience.
Access to grade-level learning
Audio e-books can help students stay connected to grade-level curriculum and literature, even when decoding is still catching up.
Why audio e-books help students with dyslexia
For many students with dyslexia, reading print requires so much energy for decoding that there is less attention left for comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking. Audio e-books reduce that cognitive load, allowing students to focus more fully on meaning, ideas, and learning.
They also give students access to richer language, more complex texts, and grade-level content that matches what they can understand intellectually, even if they are not yet able to read those texts independently.
“Learning Ally has changed the reading game for my learners with dyslexia. I have students who HATED reading who are now begging for more silent reading time.”

What this can unlock for students
When students can access books in a format that works for them, they are better able to participate in class, complete reading assignments, and stay connected to learning.
This is not about replacing reading instruction. It is about giving students a way to keep learning, building knowledge and motivation while decoding skills continue to grow. Audio e-books help reduce reading frustration for students and build their independence and confidence as readers.
