Learning Ally is a nonprofit which makes literacy supports (like audiobooks) available to more than 1.6 million students and educators across the US, helping pre-K through 5th grade kids\' literacy. 65% of fourth graders in the U.S. read below proficiency levels and are 400% more likely to drop out of high school. We\'ll be building the literacy supports that all our kids deserve, and that will be particularly helpful for the most vulnerable students - black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), low income, English Language Learners, and students with learning disabilities. In 2021, The Learning Ally Audiobook Solution received six education awards including T&L\'s Award of Excellence for Best Back to School Solution for Secondary Education, T&L Best Remote and Blended Learning Tool, and SIIA Codie Finalist for Best Virtual Learning Solution. Learning Ally was also named a “World Changing Ideas” Organization in the category of Education by Fast Company.
