Life aboard a centuries-old pirate ship? Helping solve a crime that has a town on pins and needles? Exploring a dense jungle with dinosaurs roaming all around? It’s no secret that when students get to choose their own books, they spend more time reading—and learning. Dr. Donya Wheeler, deputy superintendent at Exeter Unified School District in Exeter, California, says that giving their K–8 students more choice via Renaissance myON Reader^® has promoted rapid reading growth. “Our students love the freedom to make their own literacy decisions. myON Reader enhances guided reading efforts, providing our educators with a wealth of supporting texts for use in their differentiated reading groups. Whether working independently, with a project partner, or in an instructional group, our students are excited about reading—and we know from experience that engagement boosts learning. This past year, we met all of our English Language Arts (ELA) goals and demonstrated growth in every grade level, 3–8, on the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) tests.”
