The Solution for Achieving
And Ohios Third Grade Reading Guarantee
Todays students are being asked to read more
informational text than ever before. In the past,
elementary school students have been required to
read more fiction than nonfiction. To meet the
Common Core State Standards, half of the reading
materials should be nonfiction even at the
youngest grades. These informational texts should
offer meaningful curriculum knowledge to
students. Educators and librarians are asked to
provide texts that build knowledge coherently
within and across grades.
