The myON App

We are a little over one week into the Read to the Final Four Literacy Challenge and Arizona students have read over 10,000 hours! That is incredible!  Keep encouraging your students to read and don't forgot that with myON, kids have access to great books 24/7. They can read at home or at school and with the myON app, they can even read offline.

The myON app is available FREE in the app store for most devices. With the app you can download 20 books onto your device that you can access even when wifi is not available. Books can be swapped in and out and kids get credit for their offline reading minutes.  The myON app is another great tool that will help foster reading growth.

Contest Information

Quick Facts

Read to the Final Four Literacy Challenge

·         The school-level competition is based upon average time spent reading among third grade students. 

·         The NCAA Final Four Local Organizing Committee divided all registered schools into 4 regions for the competition.

·         Schools participate in elimination rounds, with standings updated every two weeks.  

·         Scores will be calculated based upon average minutes read by students in each school 

·         Scores are cumulative throughout the contest period as schools advance through the elimination rounds. 

·         One school from each region will advance to the Final Four and one statewide “champion” school will be named at the end of the contest.   

In addition, individual third grade students who are top readers as determined by their cumulative time spent reading on the myON platform during the contest period also will be recognized.  

Students are encouraged to keep reading even if their school is eliminated in one of the rounds leading to the school-level championship.  Five (5) Top Individual Readers in each Region (total of 20 statewide) will be recognized/announced on March 31
