We provide support in literacy to districts and community schools throughout Stark, Wayne, and Holmes counties in alignment with Ohio's Plan to Raise Literacy Achievement (PDF) and other Ohio Department of Education and Workforce literacy initiatives (website). Ohio’s Theory of Action is designed to help ensure that all learners have access to high-quality language and literacy instruction and appropriate intervention from birth through grade 12. To achieve this alignment, our Regional Literacy Support Team coordinates efforts through the following strands: shared leadership, multi-tiered systems of support, educator capacity, family partnerships and community collaboration.
