This thoughtful integration makes myON not just a reading tool, but a comprehensive learning resource.

MyON is so convenient **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shonda H. | Teacher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023 **What do you like best about myON?** I love the convenience of this tool. This is perfect for nights that families still want to read but have not had time to visit a library or book store. This is even more convenient for students who do not have that support from home since all of the book choices are within their range and interest. I find more students read non fiction in MyON than they normally would. **What do you dislike about myON?** I actually do not have any complaints at all. Everything works well. I am happy with the program and the book options. I love that they include fiction and non fiction options. **What problems is myON solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest issue is not having family support for helping students choose books. I love that MyON solves this problem, yet still offers many options of books and articles in several genres to invoke interest ### 4. Encouraging a Love of Reading with MyOn! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amanda E. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2020 **What do you like best about myON?** I LOVE that students have instant access to SO many books! Students do not have to wait for their library day or stand in line to get a new book. Finding a book is quick and easy! The photographs and colors in the books are amazing and grab your attention. There are tools available to help teachers use books and articles during class lessons. There is even an option to read the book aloud! It is hard to not get excited about reading when you see all the options MyOn has to offer! **What do you dislike about myON?** Learning how to navigate MyOn and use the photo icons can take some time to learn. **What problems is myON solving and how is that benefiting you?** MyOn makes it easy to encourage students to read daily. When students are reading daily, they are gaining new reading skills. Students are happy and more excited to read if they are able to select their own text. ### 5. Great Content **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2020 **What do you like best about myON?** There are tons of books to choose from. They mirror popular titles that kids gravitate towards. There are tons of fiction, graphic novels, and nonfiction. **What do you dislike about myON?** The search is pretty bad. It's difficult to find what you're looking for, even if you are typing in the exact title. The subject search pulls up tons of books that don't fit. **Recommendations to others considering myON:** When trying to come back to a specific book, link it somewhere as it may be difficult to find through the search. **What problems is myON solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can see what students are reading. I can assign my whole class a group of books to choose from that will enhance each of our reading units, as well as other content areas. ### 6.

MyOn for Distance education **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lloyd G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2020 **What do you like best about myON?** With distance learning becoming the norm for school the MyOn program has proven an invaluable tool to offer a myriad of reading opportunities to my students. The options for fiction and nonfiction texts, in conjunction with current event news eliminates any obstacles for access to materials. Additionally with the reports and accountability tools I can track my students' progress on a daily basis, even while working remotely. **What do you dislike about myON?** The only downside at this point was that my district adopted MyOn after closing the schools. Therefore, instructing the students on how to maneuver the site was challenging. Also, with increased budget cuts maintaining costly subscriptions will be a challenge. **Recommendations to others considering myON:** This is a great tool for all levels of education. The articles can be utilized in both an ELA and Social Studies class, while the books can be used for independent reading or whole group / small group instruction. **What problems is myON solving and how is that benefiting you?** As an ELA teacher in a high needs school I am solving the material problem. Students now have access to books and articles that we normally would not be able to use. ### 10.
