Learning Ally

Learning Ally is a game-changer for students with dyslexia or other print disabilities who want access to the same books as their peers. This nonprofit audiobook library offers thousands of human-narrated textbooks, novels, and nonfiction titles, delivered through an app with tools like bookmarking and speed control. Built specifically for learners who struggle with decoding, the service helps shift cognitive load from sounding out words to understanding content, which can boost confidence and comprehension. Parents appreciate the high-quality narration and the ability to match required reading for classes. Membership requires documentation of a qualifying disability and an annual fee, but for heavy readers or students in rigorous courses, the cost often compares favorably to tutoring or specialized classes.
