ListenWise

Listenwise is an educational technology company dedicated to enhancing literacy and learning through listening. It offers a curated collection of podcast lessons, primarily from NPR and other public radio sources, specifically designed for K-12 classrooms. These podcasts aim to improve students' listening comprehension skills, which are essential for overall literacy and academic success. The platform integrates real-world stories with curriculum-aligned tools and assessments, making listening an engaging academic activity for students in grades 2 through 12.

The company provides a premium subscription that grants access to a library of Lexile-leveled podcasts, along with differentiated instructional supports suitable for diverse classrooms, including English learners and reluctant readers. Listenwise supports various teaching models, such as blended and flipped classrooms, and offers guidance to educators to help develop students' listening skills. With over 83,000 registered teachers using the platform across the U.S. and internationally, Listenwise is widely adopted in educational settings. In 2023, it was acquired by Boclips, enhancing its offerings with a broader range of audio and video content for global education providers.
