The Ohio Department of Education created this guidance manual to help school districts, community schools, and chartered nonpublic schools understand the requirements of the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. The department also created a section on its website to serve as a collection of resources for administrators, educators and parents. To view these resources, go directly to the Third Grade Reading Guarantee page or visit the department’s website at http://www.education.ohio.gov and search “Third Grade Reading Guarantee.” The law is available at ORC 3313.608 (public school districts and community schools) and ORC 3301.163 (chartered nonpublic schools).
