SC Education Oversight Committee Publishes Reading Guide

EOC Student Reading Success Activity Guide Cover

Reading with young children is a proven way to promote early literacy. Helping to make sure children are reading on grade level by third grade is one of the most important things we can do to prepare children for a successful future. Reading with a child for 20 minutes per day and making a few simple strategies a part of your daily routine can make a positive impact on a child’s success in school. The SC Education Oversight Committee is happy to provide this Student Reading Success Activity Guide, which includes age-appropriate games to help children become more proϐicient readers! Thank you to the SC General Assembly which allows the SC Education Oversigh Committee the ability to produce publications like this for the public through innovative partnerships designed to increase student achievement (2014-15 Appropriations Act, Proviso 1A.53).  Copies will soon be available at all public library headquarters across the state!
