Ohio's Vision
Ohio's vision is for all learners to acquire the knowledge and skills to become proficient readers.
Now is the time that many district and school leadership teams across the region are looking at reading data from Ohio's Report Cards and beginning of the year reading screening results. Based on these data points, decisions are often made to provide additional supports for learners who may be struggling with reading.
Encourage your teams to reflect on the historical outcomes of your systems of support for literacy improvement.
- What data or insight can you draw from the history of these supports?
- Have the interventions, programs, supports, placements, etc. meant to improve reading proven to be effective over time?
- Where are your learners now that received supports intended to improve their reading?
Are your team's making "the least dangerous assumption" about each learners ability?
"...we should assume that poor performance is due to instructional inadequacy rather than to student deficits." - Ann Donnellan
Do Our Assumptions Presume Competence?

Promoting Awareness and Understanding Grows Communities
Learners and their families have made a large impact in sharing information about dyslexia across the state. Do families in your community have a story to share?
