Ohio Monday, June 25, 2012 Kasich signs third-grade reading law Ohio schools will hold back third graders who cannot read, and spot non-readers earlier to provide tutoring by WKSU's STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT BILL COHEN |
 Reporter Bill Cohen | | |
| Now that Governor John Kasich has signed the idea into law, Ohio schools will be told not to let third graders move onto fourth grade, unless they’ve shown they can read. At a signing ceremony Monday in Cincinnati, the governor noted the law tells schools to spot non-readers earlier in elementary school and provide tutoring and other special help to get them up to speed. |
“We will not lay any holdback in the third grade if you can’t read, unless we have intervened aggressively in the kindergarten, the first grade, the second grade. No one should view the third grade reading guarantee as something punitive; it’s something that’s really fantastic. Until you can do what you need to do, we don’t want to just push you ahead and push you deeper into the woods and you can’t figure your way out.”
The new law provides $13 million to local schools to help them pay for special reading programs, but some education activists contend that’s nowhere near enough money. |
