    This is the source that The Ohio Department of Education would like parents and teachers to use. They have two really great resources. It includes phonics, and a variety of fiction stories, and using highlighting to focus on reading left to right. On the other hand, does every student learn the same way? What other resources can families and teachers use?

      Schools are already strapped for money.  Where will the money come from to provide the intensive reading intervention necessary?  What happens to schools who are unable to meet the requirements?

    Great resource! I'm interested to see how the new teacher evaluations play out in the upcoming years. Seems like the majority of superintendents are in favor of changing evaluations but find it difficult to actually implement the more stringent evaluations.

      Assisting students in reading to promote success begins long before third grade and before a child steps into a school building.  While the state is holding educators accountable, I ask myself why isn't more being done to start off children with more of an advantage.  Equip schools with preschools.  When children cannot receive the reading exposure they need at home, schools should provide more.
  • icies and programs which would increase access to health insurance for children and to improved education
  • In families, parents are the first teachers, preparing their children to read simply by talking and reading to them frequently. They can also be the first to spot health and developmental problems that may lead to reading difficulties. But parents do not always know what to look for or how to help their children, and access to health care is essential. Poverty is strongly associated with lack of health insurance coverage. For example, 10 percent of people in families with incomes of $50,000 or more are not covered by health insurance, but this jumps to 19 percent for those with family incomes between $25,000 and $49,999, and to 29 percent for those with family incomes below $25,000.23 Children in poor families also are more likely than their peers to have parents with limited education, because lower education is associated with earning lower incomes.24 These findings suggest that pol

    It's never too early to learn how to read or to share books with your children, students and other educators. I agree preschool sets the children up for success.

    I firmly believe that a parent is the best way to boost a child's knowledge before they begin school. I never attended pre-school, and yet I was reading by the middle of my kindergarten year. The sad fact is that some parents just don't care enough, or find educating their child important enough to give them the head start that they need. Pre-school isn't a requirement, and unless a family meets the income qualifications, it can be quite pricey. I currently have a student who is in foster care, he is smart, and inquisitive, and hard working. He will be going back to live with his blood relatives next week. After talking to his foster family, they have shared their opinion that once he leaves their care, he will not be taken to school, or helped to boost his skills in any way. His birth family told him that he does not need to do his homework, that it is not important. It is a very sad situation.

    I agree with Alexandria. There are a lot of people who are NOT test takers. If a child has a bad day, fails the test, even if they know that material, then they are at risk to being retained? Doesn't seem fair.

  • Daily reading intervention classes will be offered for those who don’t pass the test, Dennis Mock , superintendent, said. Then all third graders will take the test again in the spring.

      How is this fair to the students? I understand just pushing them a long is not good, but holding back that many students is bound to cause new problems for schools and students.

      I completely agree with you! A new system needs developed that meets standards while achieving student success appropriately. One size does not fit all! The indications and complexities of this Reading Guarantee seem unclear and inconsistent. Just like teachers need to plan in order to successfully provide meaningful instruction to meet a goal...I believe politicians needed to map out this 'plan' and devise a transition from teaching state standards to common core.... With all these changes and requirements there is just too much instability. I mean there aren't even Common Core aligned Language Arts reading series for the curriculum.
  • As written, the law permits third graders who simply don't take the test to be promoted, regardless of proficiency, StateImpact reports. That loophole has led parents in other states that have the same law keep their kids home on test days.

      Kelsey, I agree with you! I think that may be a case currently in schools, where the parents keep their children home during testing. But now there is a case-in-point to omit their struggling reader from the test in attempts to beat the system. However, the person they will be hurting most is the child.
  • Karen Koontz on 27 Oct 13
     
    I agree, Kelsey. There are pros and cons to holding students back. Just pushing them through sets them up for failure. Research shows that retained students have a very high dropout rate too. I think the answer is far more intervention in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade. I also feel that students who are not "ready" for Kindergarten should be required to attend a preschool program even if it is funded by the district.We need to set our students up for success!
  • amyvarney on 27 Oct 13
     
    This is why they had trouble putting the reading guarantee in effect the past two times they tried to do it. I agree that this is not the way to have third graders succeed. It stresses them out and they should find an alternative route.

  • For each student retained under division (A) of this section who has demonstrated proficiency in a specific academic ability field, each district shall provide instruction commensurate with student achievement levels in that specific academic ability field.
