  • But the researcher who wrote a report the Kasich administration cites in support of the proposal says that without other changes and perhaps more money for schools, the third-grade reading guarantee is unlikely to leave children better off.

      I agree that several changes need to be made for this to work successfully across the state. I do not know if just more money will help.

      I thought it was important to note that the states with similar laws have had more success if they've have closely monitored class size and personalized help for struggling students. If more money means that we can have smaller class sizes or more resources with which to teach students in the classroom, that's obviously a huge help. However, I agree with you that money alone isn't going to make the difference.

      khjones85 you make a very good point which I did not think about.

      How do they make sure the money would go to the schools that really need it and in the correct way? My school for example has been in continuous improvement for at least 5 years. Instead of helping us though by giving us more support in the classroom, the state spends money on just sending people to tell us how to do more testing. To me this is not preparing us for the third-grade guarantee.

      Kelsey, that is an extremely good point. In many districts, teachers need more support regarding what to do after testing. Too much assessing takes away from instruction and interventions needed for student growth.
  • “It’s not going to be effective in the long run and certainly it’s not effective for children to just think of a one-time boost,” he says.

      There needs to be a school and home connection to make sure they are reading and improving themselves.

      I agree katiemarie. My school gets very little support from parents at home and without that connection how can we make this guarantee effective?
  • The report looked at a national database of nearly 4,000 students born between 1979 and 1989 and found that students who do not read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school by age 19 than students who can read proficiently.

  • About one-third of Ohio fourth graders scores are on grade level in reading, according to the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as the Nation’s Report Card.

      Interventions need to begin before third grade. Teachers with a room of 26 students need assistance meeting the needs of below leveled readers.  Teachers who follow the RtI process try interventions for weeks without getting to intense interventions for some students.
  • he commission says that while retention policies may generate “a sense of urgency for improving early reading proficiency, similar improvements in student achievement might well be achieved through identification and intervention — without the need for retention.”

    Our class sizes continue to grow and I feel this is detrimental to the learning of students, especially those who are struggling. I agree that we need smaller classes and more support both from parents and for more intervention time. I also feel that parents should not be allowed to override the schools suggestion to retain a student in kindergarten.

      I think that within "Lessons learned from Florida" it is evident that teaching practices need to build and support our students so that they are indeed able to use higher level thinking in order to perform. We need to be teaching reading for enjoyment and meaning, not reading for speed or to pass a grade. It is horrible to put that amount of pressure on our young students...

      I strongly suggest reading this article. There are some profound insights and implications that can benefit our teaching strategies and student success rates.
