Dear Parent or Guardian,
Your student has expressed interest in checking out one of the Playaway audiobooks from the RMS Library. Studies have shown that listening while reading improves fluency and comprehension. Plus, audiobooks are highly engaging and a fun way to experience literature.
RMS Library has hundreds of audiobooks available in a variety of formats. Your permission is required in order for your student to check out and take home any Playaway audio kits. These kits contain a copy of the book and a small digital device called a Playaway. Audio kits are valued between $20.00 and $150.00 and can be very costly to replace if damaged or lost. Please be aware that by signing this permission form, you are acknowledging that you will assist your student by discussing responsible care of borrowed materials.
RMS Library also has a digital collection of audiobooks available through the MackinVia app. The app is free to use and there is no limit on the number of eBooks or Audiobooks a student may access. Permission is not required for using Audiobooks through the MackinVia app.
Thanks for your support of this opportunity for our students. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you need assistance in setting up MackinVia on your device.
Happy reading,
Morgan Reel
