	Renaissance myON	Renaissance Accelerated Reader
Considered Both Products	Renaissance Learning Jil Borden Library Media Teacher at Livingston Middle School (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Renaissance myON These two products work very well together as well as by themselves. myON Reader gets some good support from myON News. After students read articles, the program suggests books in myON Reader for them to continue reading on that particular subject. myON Reader has a good … Incentivized Helpful? Denise Stevenson Teacher at Schuyler Community Schools (Primary/Secondary Education, 51-200 employees) Chose Renaissance myON I like that myOn is connected to all of our resources on Renaissance. The STAR assessments will recommend books at the student's level. They are connected, so students can take an AR quiz when they are done reading. Epic is not designed to do those things. Incentivized Helpful? Meredith Sanders Teacher at Choctaw Tribal Schools (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Renaissance myON All the Renaissance products are so user friendly and have the ability to fit into any educator's classroom needs. [Renaissance] myON [Reader] goes hand in hand with Accelerated Reader and easily links the quizzes for the students to access. My students have stayed so engaged … Incentivized Helpful? Shonda Hill Teacher in Professional Services at Venice Christian school (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Renaissance myON I have only used books on myON. Incentivized Helpful? JESSICA MARTINDALE Teacher at Rialto Unified School District (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Renaissance myON I like Accelerated Reader because it shows the comprehension level the students have after they read a book. However, I like myON because it just does a few more things than AR-- it goes above and beyond, and you are really able to see the growth your student has made on a … Incentivized Helpful? Vanessa Brown English Teacher at Selma City Schools (Education Management) Chose Renaissance myON They all work very well together and I would recommend all three programs. Incentivized Helpful?	Renaissance Learning VIvian Salazar Teacher at John McKeever Elem. (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader They go hand in hand. What I loved was that when they would read a book on MyOn, it would take then directly to the AR quiz. This helped my lower leveled students who struggle when typing. I also like that they can pick whether it reads them the book or not. Incentivized Helpful? Alma Escamilla Teacher at La Joya ISD (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader Renaissance Accelerated Reader has a greater variation of books available to all students. While MyOn has its own books that are easily accessable an testable through Renaissance Accelerated Reader. I love the fact that students can read books at home that they already have, … Incentivized Helpful? Vanessa Brown teacher at Selma City Schools (E-Learning, 51-200 employees) Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader I use MyOn in conjunction with Accelerated Reader. They work hand in hand together. Incentivized Helpful? Vivian Dawson Paraprofession Special Education at City Schools Of Decatur, GA (F.AVE) (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader I have not used any of the products listed. However, AR has been my choice of product. My school system choice this product because it interfaces well with all other reading and testing programs that have been purchased. It is an excellent product, but that is a given since it … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader I don't know another program like this. We do have many online resources that we use, but nothing like Accelerated Reader. I like that even when we use ebooks such as Capstone, we can link the book to Renaissance so that they can take the test immediately after the book ends. Incentivized Helpful? Keyanna Kimbrough Teacher at Selma City Schools (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader They both are awesome. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader I know of no other product that is similar to Accelerated Reader. Incentivized Helpful? Jessica Spivey School Library Media Specialist at Selma City Schools (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader They are about the same. The only difference is that MyOn has ebooks. The tests seem to be very similar. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Eifling Library Media Specialist at Jackson Public Schools (Libraries, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Renaissance Accelerated Reader I have not reviewed other products before. Incentivized Helpful?
