If you and your family are moving to Columbus and you have a student who needs some additional assistance in reading, Columbus moving companies want you to know that you are moving to the right place!

The Ohio Department of Education wants every single student to be able to pass the Ohio Achievement Assessments. Since the minimum score is 394, if students fall short of the minimum, assistance is provided to them so that they can meet the requirements in order to pass retesting in spring.

After testing, the results are sealed and mailed to parents for their view. From there, if you would like to look into how struggling readers can receive free tutoring in order to score higher, you can check with your school for more information.

This year, 81 third graders needed reading assistance, and 52 had already been receiving reading assistance before testing took place.

The OAA also raised the reaching score minimum from 392 to 394 this year, in attempts to align with the OAA proficient score of 400.

“All the students who are below (the minimum score) have plans and are receiving reading intervention,” said Curriculum Director Angel King.

King said that last year, four students were held back in the third grade for not passing the OAA’s test. However, all four students were special circumstances and all four graduated to the fourth grade during the same calendar year that they repeated the third grade; allowing them to advance appropriately and not have to repeat the entire third-grade reading curriculum.

If a student DOES have to be held back, the school has to provide a highly experienced reading teacher and 90 minutes of reading instruction, every day.

If you know that your student will be one of the struggling readers and needs extra educational help, rest assured that moving to Columbus will be able to help facilitate your child’s needs. Ohio aims for no child to be left behind, and when moving, All My Sons aims for none of your belongings to be left behind.
