[CASL-L] Learning Ally

[LaFlamme, Kristin]

I use it as a 5th grade classroom teacher so I can’t speak to library
usage. It’s definitely increased reading engagement within my classroom.
It’s for students with reading impairments, however if students want to try
audiobooks, I hook them up with it. There’s a wide variety of books on
there. Not necessarily the newest ones. You can assign books to certain
kids. There’s no borrowing of a book, so the kids can have it for as long
as needed. I’m not sure I’d see much of an advantage of it as a library
tool, but I’ve loved it for my 5th graders! Most books are voice text,
which means the book pages are on the screen and it highlights as the audio
reads to them. Some are classic audio, just listening. It’s great for book
clubs because you don’t need physical multi copies. Let me know if you have
any other questions!
