Frank Elementary School Makes a Slam Dunk With Reading

The students at Frank Elementary School in the Tempe Elementary School District are serious about their reading! Especially in Miss Blanchard's ELD class. Because most of the 22 students in the class don't have access to computers at home, they have been getting to school an hour and a half early every day just to read on myON. Here is what Miss Blanchard has to say:

"myON is my favorite reading website because it provides students the opportunity to read, learn early researching skills, learn how to use a computer, track their Lexile, and answer comprehension questions at home and at school. Students can annotate in the text and write reviews, which provides them with time to reflect on their reading. myON provides students with an engaging way to practice reading, testing and computer skills. I have seen students who hate reading fall in love with it because it incorporates technology. Students get to read books at their level as well as challenge books. Students are also able to use a highlighter, a narrator, and a dictionary if they need help with reading. They get to read books on topics they actually want to read about. Teachers can differentiate by creating book lists. There are also bilingual books!"

The students are also excited about myON. Check out their pictures and their thoughts below.
