This document examines the evidence base for myON that meets the requirements of Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).The full report is available online: <https://docs.renaissance.com/R62045>.

myON has recently received Digital Promise's Research-Based Design for Instructional Learning Products: Product Certification. This certification is intended to serve as a reliable signal for consumers, including school administrators, educators, and families, looking for evidence of educational technology (edtech) products that are based in research about learning. Renaissance submitted evidence confirming a link between research on how students learn and myON's design.The certification is available online: <https://productcertifications.digitalpromise.org/research-based-certified-products/>.

Over the years, classroom bilingual teachers and the emerging bilingual learners they serve have made some of the most astute observations questioning the validity and reliability of assessments of early literacy in Spanish that are mirror translations of below represent a small fraction of observations representing a 40-year frustration with the prevalent practice of assessment via direct translations from English to Spanish, frequently without validity and reliability studies in Spanish.

In December 2019, Seychelles Ministry of Education made the decision to implement Renaissance's reading solution (myON) to all 25 primary schools over 3 years, launching in Spring 2020. Since myON was launched in 2020, pupils have spent over 1,000,000 minutes reading, with over 150,000 books completed. This is a great achievement for one of the world's smallest countries.The full case study is available online: <https://web.archive.org/web/20240402093237/https://cdn.theewf.org/uploads/pdf/Renaissance-Learning-Seychelles-Case-Study.pdf>.

Throughout 2021, Renaissance released a series of reports titled How Kids Are Performing, which estimated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on US student achievement in reading and mathematics during the 2020-2021 school year. Although the incidence of school shutdowns and remote learning is now much lower during the 2021-2022 school year than last year, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect K-12 education in myriad ways. This continuation of the How Kids Are Performing report series will serve as a status check, summarizing US K-12 student performance and growth as of the middle of the 2021-2022 school year and contrasting those results to the same period in 2020-2021.
