Get Illinois Reading Campaign deadline extended to April 8

The deadline to participate in The Get Illinois Reading Campaign has been extended to Friday, April 8. More information on this statewide initiative to get students excited about summer reading is available by watching a recording of the informational webinar or on the Get Illinois Reading Website . Research shows that as little as 10 minutes of additional reading per day can dramatically impact a student's overall reading performance (article included) and help to mitigate summer loss . myON's unlimited anytime access to 5000+ books combined with a fun summer reading program can provide a strong foundation for summer and back-to-school success. Participating districts/schools will be offered a summer reading scholarship to offset the programing costs of the personalized reading platform for all district students and faculty. Program details, costs and requirements are outlined in the "Get Illinois Reading Kit." With myON's digital solution, we can help to mitigate the concerns and negative impact associated with summer slide as we partner to build a strong community of readers across Illinois.
