	Scaffolding group	Audiobooks-only group
What did your child enjoy most in this study?	“My child enjoyed all aspects of the study. He is proud to tell others that he is participating in a study. He is very excited to be paid by gift certificates. He loves how he can access any book of his choosing. He enjoyed the experience of meeting weekly and discussing the books with someone.” “My son really enjoyed meeting with the learning facilitator and was sad to learn he would not be meeting with the facilitator anymore. He loved the books and the platform though I was hoping he would read more without me reminding him.” “He enjoyed being introduced to books he may not have otherwise picked out to read. He also liked meeting with his facilitator. He is a social kid and the pandemic has been hard, so seeing [his learning facilitator] was a highlight of the week.”	“He definitely enjoyed listening to the books that were recommended the best!!” “It allowed her to be independent with her nightly reading.” “She enjoyed engaging with the tester. She enjoyed being able to pick her own book and listen on her own. This contributed to family conversations regarding the stories she listened too.” “He really enjoyed the interviews and listening to/reading along w/Learning Ally. I would like to continue it. He would often have siblings gathered around, reading too.” “Es una experiencia bonita para los niños,por que es una manera de leer sin leer osea escuchando, es diferente pero me gusta, hasta la niña de segundo grado quería escuchar los libros, me gusto mucho.gracias sigan asi ayudando a niños a que le den importancia a la lectura.” Translation: “It is a beautiful experience for the kids because this way they can read with listening, it’s different but I like it. Even my second grade daughter wanted to listen to the books. I enjoyed it a lot. Keep up the good work”
What did your child find most challenging in this study?	“She found the questions and vocabulary hard.” “He is not used to listening to books and using the app required more setup time since he had to use his laptop, so it was something we had to remind him to do.” “Finding time to read the books, especially without distraction” “Twice weekly meetings with the facilitator was a lot for our schedule” “She sometimes did not want to stop what she was doing to attend scaffolding. Also wanted to socialize and share other things with Facilitator not fully focused on session”	“She did not like listening to books she had no interest in.” “Trying to read/listen to the books she was not immediately interested in. I challenged her to try at least half of the book to see if it improved and she did not like that.” “The second book didn’t hold her interest” “Mostly technical problems” “Por las circunstancias pasa mucho tiempo conectado a algún dispositivo electrónico y aveces solo quería hacer otra cosa, en circunstancias normales creo seria su actividad favorita.” Translation: “Because of the circumstances he spent a lot of time connected to an electronic device and sometimes he wanted to do something else. Under normal circumstances this might have been his favorite activity”
