Audio & eBooks
Learning Strategy - read a book, either in paper or eBook version, while being accompanied by the same title in audiobook form. Just reading alone will not help your pronunciation because English is not a phonetic language. If you are hearing the word as you read it, your brain will make the connection, and next time you see that word, you will know how to pronounce it. And next time you hear that word, you will know how it’s spelt. I encourage you to try out this method because it will transmute your reading retention, your spelling, your vocabulary, your pronunciation, and your listening skills.

Free and liberated ebooks,
carefully produced for the true book lover. While there are plenty of places where you can download free and accurately-transcribed public domain ebooks, we feel the quality of those ebooks can often be greatly improved.
Digital Books wear out faster than Physical Books
Ever try to read a physical book passed down in your family from 100 years ago? Probably worked well. Ever try reading an ebook you paid for 10 years ago? Probably a different experience. From the leasing business model of mega publishers to physical device evolution to format obsolescence, digital books are fragile and threatened.

From Learning Ally: Students who qualify may have an IEP or 504 plan, but those are not requirements. It is up to the individual teacher to determine a student’s eligibility. If a teacher determines that a student is not able to keep up with grade-level reading, because they are struggling for whatever reason, then the student qualifies for Learning Ally. The Learning Ally Virtual Strategy Guide provides other strategies to engage students virtually. See document below.

Audio & eBooks.
Limits the number of patrons who may simultaneously borrow a title, much like a traditional book circulation. While OverDrive is more restrictive in this sense, it does contain more titles (particularly newer ones) than does Hoopla.
