Birth through 3rd Grade Literacy Education
Directs the state board and the early childhood advisory council, in consultation with the governor's office of 21st century education, to develop legislative recommendations regarding the state's policies on literacy education for birth through 3rd grade with the goal of increasing kindergarten readiness, K-3 reading proficiency, and increasing school success and college- and career-readiness for Ohio's children. Directs the state board and early childhood advisory council to submit these recommendations no later than February 28, 2013. Requires that the recommendations address (1) alignment of state's policies and resources for reading readiness and proficiency from birth through 3rd grade; (2) identification of birth through kindergarten entry strategies to reduce the kindergarten readiness gap, increase literacy success throughout the K-12 continuum, and increase college- and career-readiness; and (3) recommendations for implementing reading proficiency strategies.
