Ohio's Dyslexia Guidebook
Learning to read is a major milestone in a young child’s life and fundamental for long-term success. However, for some children, the process of learning to read is extremely difficult and becomes a barrier to their academic and social-emotional development. A large and converging body of research now shows that early identification of children who may experience reading difficulties is possible and focused intervention and remediation efforts are effective for reducing negative long-term impacts. The primary charge of the Ohio Dyslexia Committee was to develop this document, the Ohio Dyslexia Guidebook, regarding the recommended best practices and methods for universal screening, intervention and remediation for children with dyslexia or children displaying dyslexic characteristics and tendencies using a structured literacy program, as required by Ohio’s dyslexia support laws (ORC 3323.25). The guidebook outlines several recommended best practices to consider when implementing the legal requirements of screening, intervention and remediation.
