WHAT IS THE THIRD GRADE READING GUARANTEE?
Ohio's Third Grade Guarantee was signed into law in June 2012 as a part of Senate Bill 21. The guarantee affects public schools, specifically kindergarten through third grade, and aims to have all students reading at a proficient level and on grade level by the end of third grade. Students not reading on grade level by the end of third grade may be retained in reading and will receive intensive intervention assistance.
