Literacy Supports

Using Implementation Science we will start with the exploration stage. The following sections hold a plethora of resources and tools. PLEASE note that districts should not try to rush through these tools. The exploration stage is critical to future success. Districts across Ohio are all unique therefore, we have many different and variable types of resources. We highly encourage attending the Literacy Leaders Network as the many discussions in that format may include how we can use these resources. The link is the rubric to Implementation drivers that will help all leaders see how they are progressing through the pre-exploration and exploration stages with the supports below.
