Pat and I presented to a wonderful and (WOW!) very large group of teachers today at the International Reading Association’s conference in Orlando. We’d like to share the powerpoint with you here. If you would like to print the handouts, you can get them from the IRA’s website. Also, you can find an extended version of our presentation as a video Webcast on the Reading Recovery website. Enjoy!

Catching Readers Before They Fall 
Thanks for sharing this presentation; as English department chair at my school, I’m constantly trying to get all of the teachers– not just my department– to realize the supports we need to give struggling reading students. Perhaps this presentation is a resource I can share with them.
Pat, How can we access the handouts on the IRA site? I went looking but couldn’t find them. Can you help me out?
Sherell –
If you send me an email, I will send you the handout. Pat J.
We have contacted the IRA convention people and they’ve told us the handouts will be available after the convention. We apologize. We were under the impression that the whole reason we were uploading them to the site was for people to have before the conference. We apologize for not having handouts for everyone at the session. Please feel free to download the powerpoint off of SlideShare and print it out if you don’t want to wait for the IRA to post the handouts. Thanks!
I spoke with people at IRA and they said the handouts will be available at some point in the next few weeks here: http://www.reading.org/annualconvention/postconvention/
They could not give me an exact date. Check back often, or send us an email and we can email you the handouts if you need them sooner. I apologize for any inconvenience.
