The ReadOhio Literacy Academy has wrapped, but the critical work continues to raise reading achievement! Thank you to everyone for attending and making our event such a success.

This year, we strengthened parent-school connections through Literacy Academy for Families, elevated teacher leadership conversations, and furthered the essential work to align materials and instruction to the science of reading.
