What is myON?

myON is the perfect platform to develop essential literacy skills. It is a cross-curricular teaching and learning tool that helps students acquire the essential reading skills they need to become fluent readers by providing an easy way to ensure these skills are practised in the classroom and then developed further at home.

Develops skills

myON allows students to develop their speaking, reading, writing and comprehension skills.

Teachers can guide students through topical texts and assign further reading to boost each student’s understanding of the topic.

myON helps to initiate discussions and reinforce vocabulary.

Inclusive

myON is based on a digital library of over 7,000 high-quality, culturally diverse texts that are tailored to specific age groups and a range of reading abilities.

All students are catered for, regardless of where they are on their reading journey.

24/7 access makes reading accessible for all.

Ready-made activities

Central to myON is a range of teaching and learning activities that help teachers:

Model, clarify, summarise and interrogate texts with their students.

Collaborate together by sharing resources, from basic reading lists to more complex extended projects and assignments.

How does myON work?

1. Choose

Students will never run out of great reads with so many exciting titles to choose from! They can pick from personal recommendations, browse by topic or genre, or search by term.

2. Read

As students read on their favourite digital device—online or offline—they can mark up pages, highlight words, listen to audio versions, and interact with the enhanced digital books.

3. Quiz

At the end of each book, students can take a short quiz to check their comprehension, rate the book, write a review, and then go on to find their next fascinating title to read.

4. Analyse

Twelve real-time reports capture student engagement and growth, providing actionable data that helps you ensure each student has the support they need to succeed.

For a secondary school, myON has ticked all of the aims that we had as a school by promoting reading for pleasure and encouraging students to read more non-fiction. For reluctant readers and those who aren’t typically enthusiastic about reading, myON is an amazing tool.

myON projects allowed us to discover texts relating to specific topics and assign them to students for further reading. We’ve even discovered some core texts on myON, including Christmas Carol and Macbeth. With myON on every device, no book looks intimidating.
