The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce’s Office for Exceptional Children (DEW/OEC) and the Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities (OCECD) collaborated to create Reading Tips for Families through implementation of the State Personnel Development Grant, funded by the United States Department of Education (2017-2022). 

An ongoing collaboration between the OEC and OCECD ensures that the website is consistently updated. Since its launch in 2020, many new features have been added. “Tips if Your Child Needs Help,” “Video Resources,” and “Additional Languages” are just a few examples. In 2026, the site name and content were updated to intentionally include math.

Our goal is to provide updated reading and math definitions, activities, and resources that engage and educate families, while also meeting requirements for disability accessibility and supporting speakers of additional languages. We welcome your input to help us continue improving, because this website is designed for you!
