THE YEAR IN REVIEW dedication to Reading Recovery, teachers are empowered to help struggling first graders succeed at reading. RRCNA Teacher Leader Scholarship Award The Reading Recovery Council of North America funded seven teacher leader training scholarships in the amount of $12,000 each for the 2005–2006 school year to school districts with demonstrated high concentrations of first graders at risk of not learning to read and write at grade level. Individual donations to the Reading Recovery Fund made these scholarships possible. National Reading Recovery & K–6 Classroom Literacy Conference Scholarships Zaner-Bloser Scholarships The mission of Zaner-Bloser, the Language Arts and Reading Company, is to make a significant contribution to the education of children in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade by publishing materials of the highest quality. In partnership with RRCNA, Zaner-Bloser funded a scholarship to assist a Reading Recovery teacher’s attendance at the 2007 National Conference. Nancy Pollock Fellrath Scholarship This scholarship is a gift from the estate of Nancy Pollock Fellrath. Nancy was a dedicated and enthusiastic Reading Recovery teacher from California who returned from Reading Recovery conferences inspired and eager to share what she learned with her colleagues. As a result of Nancy Pollock Fellrath’s generosity, since 2002, 17 Reading Recovery teachers have been able to attend the National Conference, Summer Institute, Leadership Academy, and Teacher Leader Institute. Sue Hundley Professional Development Scholarship This scholarship honors the memory of Sue Hundley, a former RRNCA board member, Reading Recovery teacher, and teacher leader. Each scholarship includes National Conference and Preconference Institute registration. Three Reading Recovery teachers have benefited from this scholarship since 2004. Geri Stone Memorial Fund Grants and Scholarships Program This program was established by family members and friends to remember Geri Stone’s leadership as a Michigan Reading Recovery teacher leader. Grants and scholarships are awarded to Reading Recovery teachers to help offset the cost of training, professional development, or literacy efforts. Funds have helped nine Reading Recovery teachers pursue professional development opportunities since 2004. The Limited Brands Scholarships for Reading Recovery Teachers Limited Brands, headquartered in Columbus, OH, funded 10 scholarships for Reading Recovery teachers and partners to attend the 2006 National Conference. Reading Recovery Artists A picture is worth a thousand words! In an effort to communicate how children feel about themselves when they learn to read and write, the RRCNA Development Committee asked teacher leaders to collect “testimonials” in the form of pictures and writing from Reading Recovery students. More than 80 original designs from all over the country were submitted. The artwork was displayed at the 2006 Teacher Leader Institute, where attendees had the difficult job of voting to select the winners. The 12 creations that received the most votes were produced as note cards that are for sale through RRCNA. Other student artists will be featured in RRCNA publications and other media. 10 READING RECOVERY COUNCIL OF NORTH AMERICA 2005–2006 ANNUAL REPORT
