Hey Erin,
Many people put straw down on top of lawn seed to prevent birds from eating the seed, and to help retain the soil by preventing erosion. This will also help shade the dirt, keeping it cool from the hot sun making moisture last longer on the dirt surface - causing the grass to grow (and germinate).
