Go1 vs. Renaissance myON® Reader

Go1 is a great "library" for class content. It has a really wide variety of class options. We have a really usual and diverse group of employees and divisions. Go1 has been able to meet our needs really well. I appreciate the responsiveness of the representatives. I feel confident with them

I teach 5th/6th grade math and science, but I love finding fun books to explain science and math concepts using books that keep the students engaged. I can make sure to give them several options on their reading level to choose from and know I am meeting a majority of my students needs because they can listen to other book be read if they so choose. My students have learned so much from science graphic novels!

• Students levels from their STAR test did not translate into the books suggested on myON.
• The platform is cumbersome and inaccessible for students and teachers.

I believe this product provides students with faster and easier access to books. This increases their time spent on task reading. myON reader is a product that is great for students and teachers.

If there are any issues and concerns while using myON, there are many help resources available to offer assistance.

myON Reader works so well with the rest of the Renaissance Platform. This consistency is great for everyone!

We looked at a number of providers, some who only hosted their own content, some who hosted a range. Go1 seemed to us to be the right fit due to their range of content and professional approach that catered to our individual considerations

Renaissance myON is hands down the best as compared to Epic. I am allowed to consistently monitor my students. I am able to print reports to help evaluate student progress. I can also use these reports during parent/teacher conferences so parents and guardians can see where their student is throughout the year. They are able to see how their interests change along with how the reading level improves.
