Engage Students, Educators, Families and Communities!

Real-time data gives educators the ability to differentiate instruction and reach all students, which results in increased achievement.

Opportunity and access to technology has made reading fun and socially savvy in Prince George’s County Public Schools, and myON has

provided a new and exciting venue to engage students in a more intuitive way to promote a love of reading. Teachers

love it because access to a multitude of relevant content and subject matter is only a few key strokes away. Parents find myON to be more practical and conducive to their busy schedules and life style. The icing on the cake is the reporting—over 97% of our Title I elementary schools had students reading on myON during spring break and in

2016 PGCPS students have read 575,040 books and have spent 117,000 hours reading.
