Celebrating Ohio Right to Read Week is one
way to stress the importance of reading in our society. Fostering
a lifelong love of reading is an important goal. We
know that good reading skills are essential for success in
many subject areas.
Celebrating Ohio Right to Read Week is one
way to unite the community, Fostering good relationships
within the community is a benefit. OCIRA
invites you and your community to participate. Click

Ohio’s Right to Read tradition is a strong one! The
role of reading celebrations is acknowledged in the ODE Guidelines
and Benchmarks for School Libraries. By sustained silent
reading, by reading to others, by discussing the books we
read and enjoy, we encourage students to develop lifetime
reading habits.
Districts with 100% participation will receive
special recognition at OCIRA’s Annual Conference.
