Accelerated Reader and myON Online Reading Resources

We take reading very seriously at St. Mary's and recognise how important being a fluent reader is all areas of your education and life.  We track the reading habits and progress of the children at St. Mary's by using an online platform called Accelerated Reader.

The links below will take you to guides on how to access an Accelerated Reader test once you have completed a book and other information about the scheme.

  This will help parents and pupils to find the tests that pupils complete at the end of each book. Remember - you need to take and pass the test to score points and words towards your target.

• Pupil leaflet on how to use Accelerated Reader
  This leaflet explains how Accelerated reader works and how you take tests and score points.

• Leaflet about Dads supporting reading
  Having male role models for reading is something that has been shown to help children engage with books. Here are some top tips for male family members on how they can help inspire their children to read.

Accompanying the Accelerated Reader scheme is an online library of books through a platform called myON.  Pupils use the same log-in as Accelerated Reader to access the online content and, once linked with their accelerated reader account, can access the tests at the end books from the myON platform.  Click on the link below to take you to myON.
