Did You Know?

Did you know that myON personalizes a library of books for each student? 

myON creates this unique library by combining the students grade level, their interest inventory and their Lexile Range (100 points below to 50 points above their current Lexile score). Students can find their recommended books by clicking on the library at the top of their home page and then clicking the Recommended tab. In that tab they will find hundreds of books that match not only their reading ability but their interests as well.  And the best part is, as students grow and become better readers the recommended tab automatically adjusts to meet those changes.

So encourage your kids to read out of their recommended tab and together we can help foster a life long love of reading for students!
