<strong>2005</strong>–20<strong>06</strong> Annual Report
MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />
How RRCNA Met the Challenge<br />
Jady Johnson<br />
This year’s annual report highlights the<br />
work <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong> (RRCNA) in fiscal<br />
<strong>2005</strong>–20<strong>06</strong>. It is different from the Annual<br />
Fund Report published in previous years<br />
because it provides a broader look at the <strong>Council</strong>’s<br />
activities and finances.<br />
We are proud <strong>of</strong> this year’s accomplishments and those<br />
<strong>of</strong> our members who work in schools and universities<br />
across the United States and Canada. To support our<br />

members’ work, the <strong>Council</strong> provided excellent<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional resources, expanded Web site information,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered exceptional learning opportunities at conferences,<br />
and implemented a broad-based advocacy effort<br />
for <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>. In this endeavor we were joined<br />
by knowledgeable donors, both individuals and<br />
foundations, who understand and support the value <strong>of</strong><br />
high-quality teacher pr<strong>of</strong>essional development and<br />
early literacy intervention.<br />
All organizations face challenges. This year we tackled<br />
one that could no longer be ignored—bias in how<br />
the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Education (USDE) was<br />
implementing <strong>Reading</strong> First. Because we had heard<br />
from many members across the nation, RRCNA filed a<br />
complaint with USDE’s Office <strong>of</strong> Inspector General.<br />
The result <strong>of</strong> that complaint was a stern reprimand to<br />
USDE administrators and findings that USDE favored<br />
certain publishers and interfered with the right <strong>of</strong> local<br />
school districts and states to select curriculum. As this<br />
annual report goes to press, additional reports are<br />
imminent from the Inspector General and the<br />
Government Accountability Office.<br />
We thank our leadership, our donors, and those who<br />
worked so hard on behalf <strong>of</strong> children and teachers.<br />
With your support we will continue to support our<br />
members and work toward achieving our mission—<br />
making <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> available to every child<br />
who needs its support.<br />
76% <strong>of</strong> students who completed the full<br />
12-to-week intervention met grade-level<br />
expectations in reading and writing.<br />
As soon as students can read within the<br />
average range <strong>of</strong> their class and demonstrate<br />
that they can continue to achieve, their<br />
lessons are discontinued, and new students<br />
begin individual lessons.<br />
*DLL is Descubriendo la Lectura, the reconstruction<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> in Spanish, and is implemented<br />
in classrooms in which the language <strong>of</strong> instruction<br />
is Spanish.<br />
2 READING RECOVERY COUNCIL OF NORTH AMERICA <strong>2005</strong>–20<strong>06</strong> ANNUAL REPORT
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT<br />
Helping Struggling First Graders and Teachers Achieve Success<br />
Connie Briggs, Emporia State University<br />
The title <strong>of</strong> this year’s annual report,<br />
“A Year <strong>of</strong> Challenges and Achievement,”<br />
is especially appropriate because these<br />
themes have always been at the heart <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>. We teach the most<br />
challenging children—those in the bottom 20% <strong>of</strong> their<br />
class in literacy learning. Yet with <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>,<br />
three-fourths <strong>of</strong> children who complete lessons will<br />
achieve grade-level standard in just 12 to 20 weeks.<br />
For those who do not reach grade-level standard, the<br />
diagnostic information from <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> lessons<br />
helps school <strong>of</strong>ficials make good decisions about their<br />
future schooling. This is a remarkable achievement for<br />
students, teachers, and schools.<br />
At the heart <strong>of</strong> this achievement is <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>’s<br />
in-depth pr<strong>of</strong>essional development program. Our<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional development network is guided by faculty<br />
at 22 universities in <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong> who train teacher<br />
leaders. These teacher leaders oversee pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
development <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teachers in about<br />
450 training sites operated by local schools and<br />
education agencies. <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teachers receive<br />
graduate credit for their year-long training, and they<br />
continue to attend pr<strong>of</strong>essional development during the<br />
entire time they are teaching in <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>.<br />
During the 20<strong>06</strong> year, <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
began study <strong>of</strong> a new, two-volume<br />
guidebook by Marie Clay entitled<br />
Literacy Lessons Designed for<br />
Individuals Part One and Part Two.<br />
The work builds on <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong>’s success and expands our<br />
thinking about how individual<br />
literacy lessons may be applied<br />
to other populations. The <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> community worldwide<br />
is using this new<br />
resource in <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> lessons and<br />
considering other ways to<br />
help individuals who struggle<br />
with literacy learning.<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> is a highly effective short-term<br />
intervention <strong>of</strong> one-to-one tutoring for the lowest-achieving<br />
first graders. Since <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> began in 1984 in<br />
Canada and the United States, more than 1.6 million first<br />
graders have been served.<br />
The <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong>, Inc.<br />
(RRCNA) is a not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it association <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong><br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, advocates, and partners established in 1993<br />
to sustain the integrity <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> and expand its<br />
implementation by increasing the number <strong>of</strong> individuals<br />
who understand, support, and collaborate to achieve the<br />
mission <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Council</strong>. To accomplish this goal, RRCNA<br />
provides a wide variety <strong>of</strong> programs and services, including<br />
publications, annual conferences, special institutes and<br />
academies and additional resources for members.<br />
Today, RRCNA has approximately 8,000 members<br />
including <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and partners<br />
who are classroom teachers, early literacy educators, Title I<br />
teachers, school principals and administrators, school<br />
board members, researchers, parents, and community<br />
members. Governed by a volunteer board <strong>of</strong> directors,<br />
which includes representatives <strong>of</strong> the Canadian Institute<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> and Descubriendo la Lectura,<br />
membership is open to anyone interested in <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> and early literacy.<br />
The <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Fund is the charitable fund <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong>. The role <strong>of</strong><br />
the fund is to advance early literacy through the expansion<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> in support <strong>of</strong> the strategic plan<br />
adopted by the board <strong>of</strong> RRCNA.<br />

ADVOCACY ACHIEVEMENTS<br />
Building support among decision makers<br />
In these times <strong>of</strong> educational change and uncertain<br />
funding, advocacy with federal, state, and local <strong>of</strong>ficials<br />
is more important than ever. Recognizing the critical<br />
and ongoing need for outreach to decision makers,<br />
both the RRCNA Board and its donors invested<br />
additional resources in recent years.<br />
We monitor emerging federal education policy and<br />
keep members up to date about its impact on <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong>. We also inform members <strong>of</strong> Congress,<br />
the administration, and leaders in other literacy<br />
organizations about <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>.<br />
RRCNA continues to find new ways to “get the word<br />
out” about <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> in Washington, DC.<br />
A few firsts during the <strong>2005</strong>–20<strong>06</strong> year included<br />
• issuing a statement on the President’s FY 2007<br />
budget request for education;<br />
• participating in a broad array <strong>of</strong> national<br />
coalitions and sign-on letters to support federal<br />
funding for education and preserve a voice for<br />
educators in policymaking;<br />
• submitting public witness testimony to the House<br />
Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee <strong>of</strong><br />
Appropriations, the House Education and<br />
TOSA Foundation<br />
Supports<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong><br />
Advocacy<br />
Through the assistance <strong>of</strong><br />
the TOSA Foundation,<br />
RRCNA has broadened its<br />
outreach to the largest and<br />
most-influential educational<br />
associations in the U.S.<br />
TOSA’s funding allows RRCNA to target key members <strong>of</strong><br />
Congress for in-district advocacy. This has resulted in visits to<br />
schools with <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> by members or by their staffs<br />
on education or appropriations-related committees. Funding<br />
from TOSA also helped establish an <strong>of</strong>fice-in-residence in<br />
Washington, DC, allowing <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> to have a<br />
full-time presence on Capitol Hill.<br />
Workforce Committee, and the Commission on<br />
No Child Left Behind; and<br />

MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE CHAIR<br />
How Donors Met the Challenge<br />
M. Trika Smith-Burke, Development Committee Chair<br />
Private donors help to expand <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> resources to reach more<br />
struggling first graders. Education experts<br />
have known for some time that some<br />
children cost more to educate than<br />
others—and early investment pays big dividends in<br />
later achievement. <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> is cost-effective<br />
because it reduces retention and prevents unnecessary<br />
referral to special education.<br />
The success <strong>of</strong> the children and the powerful teacher<br />
education are why so many individuals and foundations<br />
have supported <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>. My heartfelt thanks<br />
to the hundreds <strong>of</strong> you who supported <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> in 20<strong>06</strong>. Because <strong>of</strong> your generosity, RRCNA<br />
was able to <strong>of</strong>fer more scholarships for pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
development and to advocate effectively on behalf <strong>of</strong><br />
children who need <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>’s expert teaching.<br />
Philanthropy is the desire to help humanity.<br />
Since 2000, tax-deductible donations to RRCNA have totaled<br />
• more than $350,000 from over 2,700 individual members and friends; and<br />
• more than $1,000,000 from nine corporations and foundations.<br />
These gifts have funded<br />
• 149 scholarships that helped to<br />
— train 77 <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teacher leaders in 33 states, 2 Canadian provinces,<br />
and overseas in the Department <strong>of</strong> Defense Schools;<br />
— provide pr<strong>of</strong>essional development for 72 <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in 24 states,<br />
2 provinces, and Department <strong>of</strong> Defense Schools;<br />
• advocacy initiatives at the federal and local level to sustain the integrity <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>;<br />
and<br />
• electronic and print resources such as the Center for Early Literacy Information.<br />
What is the impact <strong>of</strong> this generosity?<br />
Hundreds <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> struggling readers<br />
in <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong> have become independent<br />
readers and writers who can benefit from<br />
good classroom teaching and be successful<br />
in school and life.<br />

PHILANTHROPIC ACHIEVEMENTS<br />
How donations helped meet the challenge<br />
Across <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong>, <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> is facing a<br />
challenge unlike any it has seen in more than 20 years.<br />
Large numbers <strong>of</strong> <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> personnel reaching<br />
retirement and tight school finances combine to make<br />
philanthropic support <strong>of</strong> training and pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
development more critical than ever.<br />
Scholarships<br />
Through RRCNA, generous donors can <strong>of</strong>fer the<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teachers and teacher leaders <strong>of</strong><br />
tomorrow the gift <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional development. There<br />
are two types <strong>of</strong> scholarships: Teacher leader training<br />
scholarships and National <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> & K–6<br />
Classroom Literacy Conference scholarships<br />
Teacher Leader Training Scholarships<br />
Teacher leader training scholarships provide year-long<br />
training to teacher leaders at one <strong>of</strong> more than 20<br />
university training centers in <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong>. In turn,<br />
the scholars train teachers in <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>. Those<br />
teachers then help thousands <strong>of</strong> the lowest-performing<br />
first graders learn to read and write, thus the impact<br />
<strong>of</strong> the grants continues long after the scholarships<br />
are awarded.<br />
Since funding for the teacher leader scholarships began,<br />
77 teacher leaders have been trained through scholarships<br />
awarded to their school districts. In <strong>2005</strong>–20<strong>06</strong>,<br />
the Deluxe Corporation Foundation joined the TOSA<br />
Foundation in funding these scholarships, building upon<br />
the tradition <strong>of</strong> support provided by Ronald McDonald<br />
House Charities and The Goizueta Foundation.<br />
Deluxe Corporation Foundation Scholarships<br />
Since 1954, the Deluxe Corporation Foundation has<br />
contributed nearly $80 million to human service,<br />
education, and cultural organizations that serve the<br />
communities where Deluxe Corporation facilities are<br />
located. Its “<strong>Reading</strong> is For Life” initiative supports<br />
literacy programs in elementary schools with demonstrated<br />
high concentrations <strong>of</strong> first graders at risk <strong>of</strong> not<br />
learning to read and write at grade level.<br />
Teacher Leader Training Scholarship recipients for the <strong>2005</strong>–20<strong>06</strong> year<br />
included (front row, L–R) Elizabeth Murray, Charleston County School<br />
District, Johns Island, SC; Gaynell Jamison, Monticello School District,<br />

Springfield, GA; Janet Maxwell, Rainy River District, Ft. Frances,<br />
Ontario, Canada; and Mary Lou Petters, Charleston County School<br />
District, Johns Island, SC.<br />
The Deluxe Corporation Foundation’s association with<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> began in 2004. Thanks to the positive<br />
history Deluxe Corporation Foundation had in funding<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> in four local schools, their Contributions<br />
Committee decided to expand its support to a<br />
national level by funding six $15,000 scholarships for<br />
training <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teacher leaders.<br />
TOSA Foundation Scholarships<br />
Tashia Morgridge is a passionate advocate for education<br />
and <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong>. Through the TOSA Foundation,<br />
Mrs. Morgridge has generously funded eight $12,000<br />
teacher leader scholarships between 2001 and 20<strong>06</strong>.<br />
The TOSA Foundation is a private family foundation<br />
that awards gifts to charitable and educational causes <strong>of</strong><br />

RRCNA Teacher Leader Scholarship Award<br />
The <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />
funded seven teacher leader training scholarships<br />
in the amount <strong>of</strong> $12,000 each for the <strong>2005</strong>–20<strong>06</strong><br />
school year to school districts with demonstrated high<br />
concentrations <strong>of</strong> first graders at risk <strong>of</strong> not learning<br />

to the <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Fund made these scholarships<br />
possible.<br />
National <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> & K–6 Classroom<br />
Literacy Conference Scholarships<br />
Zaner-Bloser Scholarships<br />
The mission <strong>of</strong> Zaner-Bloser, the Language Arts and<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> Company, is to make a significant contribution<br />
to the education <strong>of</strong> children in pre-kindergarten through<br />
eighth grade by publishing materials <strong>of</strong> the highest<br />
quality. In partnership with RRCNA, Zaner-Bloser<br />
funded a scholarship to assist a <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong><br />
teacher’s attendance at the 2007 National Conference.<br />
Nancy Pollock Fellrath Scholarship<br />
This scholarship is a gift from the estate <strong>of</strong> Nancy<br />

<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Artists<br />
A picture is worth a thousand words! In an effort to communicate<br />
how children feel about themselves when they learn to read and<br />
write, the RRCNA Development Committee asked teacher leaders<br />
to collect “testimonials” in the form <strong>of</strong> pictures and writing from<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> students. More than 80 original designs from all<br />
over the country were submitted. The artwork was displayed at the<br />
20<strong>06</strong> Teacher Leader Institute, where attendees had the difficult<br />
job <strong>of</strong> voting to select the winners. The 12 creations that received<br />
the most votes were produced as note cards that are for sale<br />
through RRCNA. Other student artists will be featured in<br />
RRCNA publications and other media.<br />

Many friends and colleagues made gifts in memory <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teacher Valerie Samson, who died<br />
this year. They remember Val as a great advocate for<br />
children who was not afraid to speak her mind; a<br />
wide-eyed optimist who thought she might conquer her<br />
disease one more time and come back to the kids;<br />
someone who had a warm smile and a zest for life,<br />
enjoying every moment to its fullest and always thinking<br />
<strong>of</strong> her students and how she could help improve their<br />
ability to read and understand. Valerie loved being a<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teacher.<br />

<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in the Bridgewater-<br />
Raritan School District in New Jersey honored retiring<br />
site coordinator Eileen Ryan for “her dedication to<br />
helping all children learn to read and write.” Eileen was<br />
trained as a <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teacher in 1991 and the<br />
following year she became a teacher leader. From<br />
1993–2000, Eileen trained teachers, sometimes in two<br />
classes at a time. In 1999, she became the supervisor <strong>of</strong><br />
communication arts and since then has served as site<br />
coordinator. During the 15 years Eileen has served<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> in these varied capacities, 9,713<br />
students have received <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> instruction<br />
from teachers connected to their site. Eileen leaves a<br />
tremendous legacy for children and teachers. The contributions<br />
in her honor from friends and fellow educators<br />
are helping to continue that tradition.<br />

<strong>Council</strong> Honors Retirees<br />
The Ohio <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong>, which is made up <strong>of</strong> all<br />
the teacher leaders in Ohio, site<br />
coordinators, and The Ohio State<br />
University trainers, began a new<br />
tradition—they honored retiring<br />
site coordinator Stevenson Hansell<br />
and retiring teacher leaders Terry<br />
Conley, Dusty DeWitt, and<br />
Georgia Gardner with a gift to the<br />
<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Fund in their<br />
names. “It struck us that they<br />
all had dedicated so much <strong>of</strong> their<br />
lives and their passion to that same<br />
common outcome and maybe the<br />
best way to honor them and<br />
celebrate their accomplishments<br />
was to donate to the <strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong>Recovery</strong> Fund in their names,” a<br />
