Let's begin the 2023-2024 school year with supplemental materials from INFOhio to support students with academic success in the classroom.

INFOhio strives to curate high-quality instructional materials and resources that meet the needs of Ohio learners. Dig into our repositories of instructional materials and resources to find just the thing to bridge the knowledge gaps and accelerate learning. 

The INFOhio Early Learning Portal (ELP) contains websites and apps that support learning and development in young learners, ages 3-5. This portal was created to help prepare Ohio’s early learners heading to Kindergarten. INFOhio encourages adults to use digital resources with children, providing guidance and support. In this blog, discover ways to add creativity to the school year. 

Using digital tools for reading can alleviate some of the frustrations and exhaustion that come with students who need extra support with reading and students who have dyslexia.  Any minor adjustment that makes reading easier, more fun, or accessible is worth trying with students with dyslexia. Giving them a sense of choice and control also goes a long way toward improving their self-confidence as readers.

Raising literacy achievement is no small task. As teachers know, every student is different with unique challenges and characteristics to consider. Students with dyslexia are a unique group of learners who have specific needs and strengths. While using research-based, structured literacy instructional approaches is the first step, dyslexia is more than a deficit or something that we need to fix.

Ohio’s Plan to Raise Literacy Achievement addresses the need to support educators to recognize and plan instruction for students with dyslexia. Because dyslexia affects between 11 and 17 percent of the population, all educators must have access to instructional approaches that are explicit, systematic, and structured (Wagner et al). This quality instruction will impact not only students with dyslexia but also their classmates who are not. Equipping educators with knowledge and skills from the Science of Reading is essential for reading proficiency for all students.

Middle school is a prime opportunity to engage students in focused career exploration. Students are empowered with a growing sense of self-awareness, and exposure to a variety of careers is crucial at this time. 

It can be challenging to find high-quality resources and support materials for the art classroom. Instructional materials make a difference, and quality visual arts materials are just as important to student learning as the core subject areas. Take a little time to explore these tools and see how they can support your instruction and goals for your students.
