Case Study: El Puente School boosts student reading and Lexile growth with Renaissance myON and Star Assessments

Secret readers and incredible achievers: El Puente School is putting books in the hands of students

El Puente School, an independent study school, faced the challenge of engaging its diverse student body, particularly credit-deficient students, English learners, and those in special education, with high-interest reading materials to drive progress. To address this, the school partnered with Renaissance to implement its myON Reader and myON News products to provide greater access to digital books.

By utilizing Renaissance's digital library, students gained 24/7 access to thousands of books tailored to their personal interests and reading levels. The results were significant, including a student whose Lexile score jumped 130 points in five months and others who chose to read voluntarily outside of class. The measurable impact was over 33,700 minutes of reading on the Renaissance platform, demonstrating its success in fostering a new culture of reading and achievement.
