Columbus, Ohio – Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is once again making a push for phonics-based literacy education for Ohio students after last week’s State of the Address.
In Columbus, guests packed the Lincoln Theatre in King-Lincoln Bronzeville on Tuesday to join DeWine in viewing a documentary that champions the emerging science of how kids learn to read. DeWine, along with education leaders, parents, and community members, viewed a screening of “The Right to Read”, a 2023 documentary that follows an NAACP activist, a teacher, and two families who champion the importance of literacy.
