<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 />

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 />

Monticello, AR; Jean Ann West, Humble ISD, Humble, TX; Amy Shilt,<br />

Greenville City Schools, Greenville, OH; (back row, L–R) Suzanne<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 />

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 />

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 />

This scholarship is a gift from the estate <strong>of</strong> Nancy<br />

Pollock Fellrath. Nancy was a dedicated and<br />

enthusiastic <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teacher from California<br />

who returned from <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> conferences<br />

inspired and eager to share what she learned with her<br />

colleagues. As a result <strong>of</strong> Nancy Pollock Fellrath’s<br />

generosity, since 2002, 17 <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teachers<br />

have been able to attend the National Conference,<br />

Summer Institute, Leadership Academy, and Teacher<br />

Leader Institute.<br />

The Limited Brands Scholarships<br />

for <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> Teachers<br />

Limited Brands, headquartered in Columbus, OH,<br />

funded 10 scholarships for <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> teachers<br />

and partners to attend the 20<strong>06</strong> National Conference.<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 />
