Third Grade Reading Guarantee
Third Grade Reading Guarantee
Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee is a program to identify students from kindergarten through grade 3 who are behind in reading. Schools will provide help and support to make sure students are on track for reading success by the end of third grade. The Department provides policy guidance, instructional tools and resources on the Third Grade Reading Guarantee.
Updated High-Dosage Tutoring Guidance Now Available
The Office of Literacy Achievement has published updated guidance on High-Dosage Tutoring, which is required under the Third Grade Reading Guarantee for students with a Reading Improvement and Monitoring Plan (RIMP). Guidance has been revised to align more closely with research and best practices. A Frequently Asked Questions document has been developed to provide further clarity on this requirement and address common inquiries. Additionally, the Third Grade Reading Guarantee Guidance Manual has been revised to reflect these updates. Please direct additional questions regarding high-dosage tutoring to Tutoring@education.ohio.gov.
