Well done to those children who are reading and taking quizzes on REN. You may have noticed that not all of the books on myOn have quizzes, Miss Ring, who is a member of the REN team, has made a list of all the books (900 of them) that do have quizzes on myOn. The books are in ZPD order so it is easier for your child to see which books fall within their ZPD level. They can then find the book on myOn and enjoy reading. Children can also read books from home, just check the arbookguide website to see if the book is on REN. There will be a weekly celebration REN report each week, starting from Monday 27th April. 

Below is a link to a list of ebooks available to the MyOn website with the REN quiz number next to the title.
