Leave a comment

MyOn from Renaissance is a huge collection of easy reading books (over 7000) currently available for free.

Each book can be read aloud (and you can change the speed as you need), there’s a dictionary, a zoom function, and you can search or browse by category.

No need to sign up for anything, just hit Read.

There’s also MyOn News which provides daily articles, again in an easy to read way, but again there are added extras: you can change the news article into French or Spanish, which can also be read to you; you can change the font size; view where the story is taking pace on a map; watch connected videos and slideshows
