marytheres - congrats on your IEP!!! I haven't seen the post yet - I'll take a look for it smile

I haven't subscribed to learning ally yet, so I can't give you an opinion on it (yet lol!). We were told it was important for our dd to listen to audiobooks as much as possible so that she was taking in books at her comprehension ability level, which is much higher than her ability to read visually - so my gut feeling is that anything you can give your ds to "read" by listening would be helpful because it's exposing him to words and concepts that he's intellectually ready for but hasn't caught up to yet in reading.

How is VT going? With our VT dd, she had a huge leap in reading ability kind-of early on, I think around 3 months in. I hope your ds' VT helps!

Best wishes,
