Logging In for the First Time

It's the warm up phase and students all over Arizona are logging in and reading on myON.  If it's your first time logging in, you will notice that there are two things that students will do before they get to the library. 

First, students will complete an interest inventory. This lets them tell myON what kinds of books they like to read. Research shows that when students are interested in what they are reading, they will want to read more. The second thing students will do is take an initial Lexile placement exam. This helps target student's' unique ability levels. By using the interest inventory and Lexile exam, myON can personalize a library for each student that will provide the right amount of challenge to promote reading growth. This personalized library will be found under the Recommended tab in the student's library.

It is good to allow about 20-30 minutes for students to complete both the interest inventory and the Lexile placement exam. The Lexile exam has 35 questions and is adaptive.  Once a student has finished both of these things they will go to their dashboard and be able to access books in their library.
