COLUMBUS, Ohio-For the 2024-25 school year, all Ohio schools will implement the science of reading to improve literacy rates. Supported by Governor Mike DeWine, this phonics-based approach was included in the state budget and approved by lawmakers. Schools are retraining teachers and updating curricula, with a requirement for all teachers to complete a science of reading course by June 30, 2025. Parents are encouraged to learn about this new reading method as it is adopted statewide.
