They recently changed the 504/IEP requirement, and now any teacher can add
students based on Reading Ally's criteria

They are subsidized, and we've had it so long that I don't know how that
works.  We don't pay anything and have an unlimited account, but we joined
early on.  I do know your students must be active readers or they remove
you from the program.  I also know that "somehow" it fills up.

I used to have an IL rep, but last time I contacted them, I got New Jersey!
