As exciting as this contest has been, from Tip-Off until today, it’s part of a larger effort to help every third grader become a star reader.

In order to help kids continue to build their stamina and skills – along with a true love of reading – we hope they and their teachers will continue using myON the rest of the school year and all summer long. Their accounts will remain active until August 31 to be sure kids don’t miss a day of reading practice!   

Our Teacher Locker Room and Family Zone resource web pages will continue to be available until August 31, as well, with regular updates and tips to keep kids engaged.

We will always be your biggest fans as you coach students to their personal best in reading and learning!
