myON announced new additions to its literacy toolkit and newly designed literacy environment, myON 3.3. The expanded literacy toolkit gives educators the freedom to create full assignments complete with book lists, writing prompts, and checklists—all within the myON platform. Students can now write essays, journal entries, and receive real-time feedback from teachers and their peers. New graphic organizers include KWL charts, Venn diagrams, and knowledge maps helping students and teachers take a deeper dive into the text. In addition, on-demand Lexile assessments guide teachers to assign specific students a Lexile benchmark quiz regardless of when the last Lexile measurement was taken in order to better facilitate a benchmark assessment for teachers to accurately track students’ literacy growth.
