Reading Recovery Works
2008 / 2011 Customizable PowerPoint Presentation
Developed by the Reading Recovery Council of North America
for use by Council members
This PowerPoint presentation provides a simple framework that can be adapted for use in a school, region, or state. The content can be
used as

a brief orientation to Reading Recovery for potential or new sites,

a brief introduction to accompany an annual status report to administrators
or a board of education, and

a defense of Reading Recovery when funding cuts are under consideration.
You can easily customize the presentation by selecting the slides that seem most useful for your situation, and by adding slides with
local names, data, and photos to make them relevant to your audience. (See TECH NOTES on next slide.)
GETTING STARTED
When you are ready to run the PowerPoint presentation, go to the View menu and select Slide Show. This slide will appear and you
will need to click to advance to the opening slide. The presentation will not start until you are ready to begin talking. Click once
and the headline “Powerful Proven Results” will appear on the slide.
This sample presentation includes Talking Points for each slide (under View, select Notes Page). Most of the slides are formatted as
“builds” — each talking point builds on previous points as you move through your script for that slide. When you click to the next
talking point, the previous point will change to yellow but still remain on the screen. CLICK points are indicated throughout the
sample script. As you customize the presentation, you will need to adjust the script notes and make similar notations.
We hope you will find this a valuable tool, and we welcome your comments or suggestions.
