With myON Projects, teachers can create custom assignments that include books, graphic organizers, writing activities, quick assessments, and more.
Thirteen detailed reports give teachers rich insights into engagement and achievement at the student and class level, so they can keep literacy going strong.
Anytime, anywhere access to books and news articles helps infuse reading opportunities throughout the school day and involve parents, families, and communities in supporting reading outside of school.
Embedded scaffolds and instructional tools, along with rich data insights into student reading behavior, help teachers enhance instruction to maximize student motivation and growth.
Students can read on their favorite devices at home or on the go, online or offline—no need to be at school. Families can read with or to their children, in English or Spanish, and have regular conversations about reading.
Active reading and writing practice
The built-in highlighter, shapes tool, and drawing brush encourage close reading, allowing students to identify evidence, make connections, and mark-up key photos and illustrations in ways not possible with shared physical texts or e-book subscriptions.
Teachers can view students’ comments and respond in the text, providing a quick formative assessment opportunity.
Students can use sticky notes to annotate as they read, writing comments, documenting theories, asking questions, identifying connections, and more. A journal is available for longer responses or teacher-assigned writing projects.
A citation creator embedded within each student’s journal helps them learn the importance of citing sources and using proper formatting.
Twelve graphic organizers are available to help students gather and arrange their thoughts before, during, and after writing.
Within myON Projects, teachers can assign students writing tasks along with a target word count, time goal, checklist of instructions, and more. An optional peer review setting allows students to see and comment on each other’s work.
On our reading platform, students can record themselves reading books out loud, then listen to themselves and self-assess both their miscues and their strengths as readers. Students can also compare their recordings to the natural-voice audio narration to improve pronunciation, especially with words they haven’t seen before.
Teachers can listen to student recordings to get deeper insights into their students’ reading progress.
