Dear Friend,


RFB&D® is now Learning Ally: Making reading accessible for all. Changing the name of a long-established, national institution such as RFB&D is not something we entered into lightly. Over the past year, we conducted research and focus groups with hundreds of students, parents, educators, volunteers and funders - to define the direction of the organization and identify a name reflecting our expanded mission for the future. Our new name represents our commitment to the broader scope of individuals we serve, honoring their request not to be labeled by their disability, and their wish to be empowered with equal opportunities to learn.
  


                

 




We have an App for that!



Now members can play Downloadable DAISY books on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices! Our new app is available for $19.99 at the the Apple iTunes store. 



                                                           

 




Meet Member, Ryan Ansel




"The impossible is now possible for me." Ryan Ansel was formally diagnosed in 5th grade with acute dyslexia and a 3rd grade reading level. "I transformed dyslexia from my enemy into a source of motivation."





 




Meet Volunteer, Candice Coll




"What would my life be without books?" 17-year-old Candice Coll's passion for literature lead her to our organization at age 12, where time spent volunteering and fundraising would be meaningful and life-changing!





 




Record-A-Thon: Spectacular Support 
Across the Country




Thank you to national studios sponsor PLEXTALK and to all who participated in our Annual National Record-A-Thon: Different Ways to Read Across America. Collectively more than $325,000 was raised to support our mission! Your donation can still count towards our goal.

  
Congratulations to the winners of the contests. With more than 1,000 entries, the PLEXTALK devices go to Charles L. Krugman and Bradley Delavan. The RFB&D gift bundle from our Facebook contest goes to Kelly Evans.




 





Please encourage your friends to become a Learning Ally to help us reach more individuals with tools for educational success. 

Sincerely,

Your Friends
at Learning Ally
