Audiobooks & Reading Support

Learning Ally

Learning Ally provides human-narrated audiobooks that help students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties access books more independently.

As a Master’s Level Certified Barton tutor, I can help verify eligible students for Learning Ally. Families can complete our free Dyslexia Risk Screener and schedule a complimentary phone consultation so I can review their child’s needs and discuss whether they may qualify. Eligible families can also receive my referral code for 20% off a Learning Ally membership.

A Learning Ally family membership is currently $135 per year and can include up to four eligible family members. Families who qualify through Reading & Spelling SOS can receive a 20% referral discount, reducing the cost to $108 for the year.
