Though we have Accelerated Reader throughout the county, Renaissance myON News is a school-by-school decision. Renaissance myOn News is addressing the problem that most schools face about getting students to read more non-fiction books and articles. It also is helping students be aware of the news and world around them.
  • It is interactive and engaging for students and makes them want to read and explore.
  • Teacher guides are detailed, helpful, and easy to use.
  • AR tests on the myOn News articles that interest students.
  • Include it with the AR suite.
I think this is a great tool for middle school students, as they are starting to become aware of the world around them and topics that are going on in our country and world. In this digital age, students need to learn the difference between "fake news" and unbiased news reports. The interactive features, as well as letting them read articles based off their interests, is perfect for middle school aged children.
  • myOn News increases non-fiction reading levels for students.
  • myOn News articles broaden students' understanding of the world they live in and make them more aware of current events.
Renaissance has always had a great online help section with videos and articles. They also have an online community for users to discuss ways to use their products. They have free webinars available to users as well. Most one-on-one learning sessions are done by our instructional facilitators in our county.

It's being used in my classroom. My kids/students seem to enjoy logging on and browsing the site. I encourage them to read every day and complete tests. I'm not sure if it addresses any problems but we use it throughout the building. My students seem to really like it. I hope that they will continue to use it.
  • I like the picture quality.
  • I like that the events are current.
  • I like that it is kid-friendly.
  • Maybe if they added a local or state feature...
I would recommend it.
  • The kids are up to date on events.
They have good support.

I use myON News once a week in my class, as a way to have students stay up to date on current events. We also use the articles to practice annotating and use the articles for Socratic Seminars. This is also being used by one other teacher on campus who actively does Socratic Seminars.
  • A variety of article
  • 3 different Lexile levels
  • English and Spanish
  • I think everything is great currently
  • They have fixed the bugs
These articles work well in my class as we are an AVID class, and we do a lot of presenting, we can dissect the article and create strong conversations with the articles. The students also like the topics as they are current. They like this program more than Newsela. The stories are easier to follow along with and the comprehension questions are better worded.

  • Students will be ready for the CAASPP
I like myON News more than any other product due to the variety of articles along with providing different Lexile levels. The Comprehension questions are also a great added feature. This is the complete package website, you have everything you need in one site. Students do not have to go to multiple websites to complete the activities.
