Free Ebooks Partnership

Thanks to a partnership with myON BOOKS, students and their families across the state have unlimited access to thousands of digital books on myON, giving families an opportunity to share rich literacy experiences together regardless of socioeconomic status, access to a local library, or whether or not there is a proficient reader in the home.

Through this partnership, Oregon students and families can access:

• More than 3,000 digital books  from Capstone and additional publishing partners, ranging from illustrated and picture books to chapter books, graphic novels, literary non-fiction, photo and informational texts spanning multiple eras and cultures.

• Capstone imprints include Capstone Press, Heinemann-Raintree, Picture Window Books, Compass Point Books and Stone Arch Books.

• Digital books from the following publishing partners will also be available:  August House Little Folk/ Story Cove, Bellwether, Hothouse, Mikaya Press, Orca, Reference Point, Saddleback and Sylvan-Dell.

• The collection includes 70% nonfiction, 10% Spanish or dual language, 20% high interest books for struggling readers, and is continually growing.

• A wide range of titles and topics provides varying levels of text complexity and supports close reading in a range of genres and content areas, including history/social studies, science and technical works.

• Users can read the books independently or listen to them, and they can choose whether or not to have sentences highlighted while in narration mode.

• Through a secure environment, students have unlimited access to the entire digital library, within the parameters set by the Oregon Department of Education.

We are encouraging all of our readers to read anything that interests them –including graphic novels, non-fiction books, magazines and newspapers– whether online or in print. We suggest that they:
• Read with someone
• Read to someone
• Share with someone what he/she has read
• Listen to someone read
• Help others read
• Read independently

The Oregon partnership with myON will be available at NO COST until December 20, 2013.
