Learning Ally’s Reading Games
Posted by TNCS on Jan 13, 2017
TNCS students are participating in Learning Ally’s Great Reading Games, a national reading recognition program. Learning Ally is a national nonprofit providing students with visual and learning disabilities educational resources, including human-read audiobooks. From January 9 – February 28, students will increase their reading activity through Learning Ally Link, an educational reading app for students who learn through listening. Students are encouraged to read from Learning Ally’s library of more than 80,000 audio textbooks, popular class reads, literature and series best-sellers.
On Friday, January 13 The New Community School ranked 3rd place in the nation – great job Sabers! You can check the school leaderboard at LearningAlly.org/GreatReadingGames to track how we’re doing!
