Myon Reading
Online Reading access using Myon
During these unprecedented times, reading is more important than ever for your child(ren). Not only will it help them academically, but reading is associated with improved mental wellbeing (National Literacy Trust, 2018) and opens up countless new worlds for children to explore from the comfort and safety of their homes.
PARENTS GUIDE FOR MYON
We are very excited to launch the use of ‘MyOn’ for pupils within the Junior School. MyOn is a digital library with thousands of ebooks for children to choose from and it links with our in-school reading system/library. The digital books available can be tailored to children’s interests and will allow your child to read books independently, or together as a family, during this home learning period, and at any other time you choose. Please ensure that you are checking the books your child is reading, as there is open access to many genres and age ranges.
The Myon website allows your child to interact with books by highlighting sections, annotating with virtual post-it notes and listening to text. Part of the website has a ‘news’ section where there will be current child-friendly news articles for your child to access. Children can choose to read the book themselves or have it read for them. Your child’s teacher can view the books they have read and see how long they have read for too. Once your child has read a book, they can ‘take a quiz’ – exactly like they do in school – their Myon account links to their in-school Accelerated Reader account where children accrue points and are working towards becoming a ‘Word Millionaire’ where they have read a million words or more!
If your child’s class bubble is affected by COVID-19, to enhance our home learning, we will also be using MyOn to set reading and writing tasks for your child to complete. These tasks will help your child to engage with the digital library and deepen their understanding of the texts.
If you are worried about internet access, you can also download 20 books at a time to your device for your child to read offline at any time.
A further guide for families has been added to the school website in the ‘home learning’ and ‘KS2 reading’ sections.
How to access MyOn
- Click this link or enter the web address: https://www.myon.co.uk/
- Type and select Boldmere Junior School
- Enter your child’s username and password (these are case sensitive and are used in school to access any quiz they take)
- You are now in the digital library – for now please explore the many genres of books/news articles and enjoy!
If you have any problems logging into your child’s account please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s year group team via email for further support.
Thank you for your continued support and happy reading!
Mrs Mutch.
