Six Stark County Young boy in the libraryDistricts Receive Early Literacy and Reading Grants

 

Six Stark County school districts were among the 91 districts and consortia selected to receive an Early Literacy and Reading Readiness Grant early this month as the Ohio Department of Education announced the results of a competition attracting 248 applications.[1]

 

Alliance, North Canton and Massillon City were joined by Marlington, Plain, and Sandy Valley Locals as grant recipients. Districts could apply individually or as part of consortia. All six of these Stark County districts are members of consortia and will benefit from $928,000 in grant funding awarded to those groups.

 

Established by Ohio House Bill 487, the purpose of the grant is to support the design and implementation of a K-3 early literacy and reading interventions to prepare all students to read on grade level by the third grade.
