Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant

Ohio's Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant

At EnvisionEdPlus, we are committed to ensuring schools and youth serving organizations have access to the tools and information needed to take action on grant opportunities that arise. 

The U.S. Department of Education awarded Ohio $60 million for the Comprehensive Literacy State Development grant. The goal of this program is to increase learning opportunities and improve literacy outcomes for students aligned to Ohio’s implementation of the Science of Reading. If shifting literacy instruction to the Science of Reading approach has been difficult for your school/district or if you just need additional resources to further your current efforts to align instruction to the Science of Reading, this grant might be a great fit for you!

We are anticipating this grant to open in early 2025.

It is important to get prepared NOW to successfully complete for this grant. 

Here is how to get started.
