Giving ALL Kids Access to Literacy
For healthy growth and reading success, all children and their families need year-round access to educational and supportive services. By providing this summertime access to digital books in homes, schools, and libraries for the fifth year in a row, myON by Renaissance is helping to Get Georgia Reading in a big way.
“We’re so thankful for this longstanding partnership with myON that gives all of Georgia’s kids access to books when they need it the most,” said Get Georgia Reading Campaign Director Arianne Weldon. “Providing more books in the home during the summer months limits summer learning loss, and myON’s digital platform allows kids to keep engaged with reading while having fun with their families.”
Research shows that students can lose up to three months of reading ability over the summer. By offering a wide array of quality digital titles, myON by Renaissance is aiming to ensure that students don’t fall behind while school is out of session.
More than an electronic reading application, myON by Renaissance tracks the habits of its readers and generates a list of “just right” books for each student while providing educators more insight into what works for kids—books read from start to finish—and what doesn’t—books are rarely opened, or opened and not finished.
myON by Renaissance’s books come with features that create a student-centered, personalized “literacy environment,” with an optional audio component, word and sentence highlighting, and a sidebar with a built-in dictionary. This suite of helpful tools helps kids connect with the text while reading independently or working on assigned reading and writing projects.
