School Performance & Early Literacy Growth
Recent analysis of global schools shows a clear link between daily reading and school success. Students who engage in structured reading programs, such as Accelerated Reader and myON, show:
- Higher literacy growth in Year 3, when reading proficiency predicts future academic success, with myON providing unlimited access to digital books and Accelerated Reader ensuring comprehension through tailored quizzes.
- Improved reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and overall engagement with texts, as myON encourages independent reading with personalised recommendations, while Accelerated Reader tracks progress and motivates students through goal-setting.
- Greater ability to transition from learning to read to reading to learn across all subjects, as both programs work together to build reading stamina, confidence, and academic achievement.
Success Stories from Australian Schools
Schools across Australia are proving that 15 minutes of daily reading changes everything.
Jenny, a dedicated teacher, from Ashfield Public School says: “When I ask the students what they’d like to read or what I should recommend, they share their preferences, and the parents have stepped up by purchasing and donating those books to our classroom library.”
“Every class has a class novel, or it could be a picture book in the primary years. The class teacher has allocated time where students are read quality literature every day.”
