Professional Report

The Ohio Department of Education created this guidance manual to help school districts,

community schools, and chartered nonpublic schools understand the requirements of the Third

Grade Reading Guarantee. The department also created a section on its website to serve as a

collection of resources for administrators, educators and parents. To view these resources, go

directly to the Third Grade Reading Guarantee

or visit the department’s website at

and search “Third Grade Reading Guarantee.” The law is available

(public school districts and community schools) and

(chartered

nonpublic schools).
