Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance myON® Reader

We began using Renaissance myON when school closures due to COVID went into effect in 2020. Our students were able to access books and continue their AR journey, ultimately increasing literacy. Teachers were able to create assignments within the program for students to complete which ultimately led students to read more during closure. Once schools returned to in person, we continue to use myON to encourage reading. It has helped our English Learners develop their reading skills in both their native language as well as in English. Overall, myON has had a positive affect in our school.

Pros

  • Helps students gain comprehension by suggesting reading materials at their level.
  • Because the program has the capacity to read to the students, they get a to hear a good role model which helps develop fluency and accuracy in their reading.
  • It is easy to access and helps keep students on track with their reading goals.

Cons

  • It's teacher side could be a little friendlier/easier to use.
  • Adding additional languages would be good.
  • Easy to access and use.
  • Recommended readings for students based on interest and reading level.
  • The ability for students to listen to the books as well as read them for themselves.
  • We have seen an overall increase in reading at our campus.
  • Renaissance myON® News and Powered by News-O-Matic
These two products work very well together as well as by themselves. myON Reader gets some good support from myON News. After students read articles, the program suggests books in myON Reader for them to continue reading on that particular subject. myON Reader has a good selection of books, in many areas of interest for users to read. We selected myON Reader because it helps students read materials in their level and interests.
