Jody was great help in selling our old house and buying our new one. She went above and beyond to meet our needs. We ran into several 'problems' with the purchase of our new home and she had all the answers we needed and represented us in more ways than just a real estate agent. She was by our side through the whole ordeal and kept us informed of every little bit of information during the process.

Team reviews
Jody helped us relocate to the Claremore area in 2009. She made the home-buying process as easy as it could possibly be and was always there to answer our call or meet with us. I have used her a number of times since for income properties and will use her again. Wouldn't go with anyone else.
Jody was an amazing person to work with. She went above and beyond her duty to help us purchase our dream home. She also was our listing agent for our home we currently sold. You can not go wrong working with Jody.
She is your go to girl for Rogers County! We have worked with her and she has proven herself to be loyal and very thoughtful of your needs. I would and will use her again.
It would be hard to find a more professional and likable realator!
Leland & Di Warehime
Jody was very professional and a joy to work with. As we were first time home buyers, she explained each step of the process and made it enjoyable. She responded quickly whenever we had questions and made us a priority. I would recommend that anyone looking to buy or sell a house give her a call!
How can I describe a lady that came into our house a stranger and left a great friend. Jody does not only know the real estate business but has her thumb on the heart beat of this community. She has wonderful ideas in ways to help your home sell fast and doesn't ask you to spend money trying to refurnish your home. She is an honest, warm, knowledgeable real estate agent and if I put my home on the market there would only be one call that I would make!

Quality debate with Chinese construction firm; Risks seen to May-June start date target; Oil pipeline will bypass Strait of Hormuz
January 28, 2012 1:33 by Reuters
A strategic pipeline for United Arab Emirates' oil exports to bypass the Strait of Hormuz could face more delay due to differences with the Chinese construction company, industry sources told Reuters on Thursday.
The pipeline will have a capacity of around 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) and give the UAE an alternative route to exporting oil via the strait, which Iran has threatened to block over western sanctions on its oil exports.
The 370-km (231-mile) Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline has undergone numerous delays, with UAE oil minister Mohammed bin Dhaen al-Hamli this month pushing back the start of operations to May or June.
"The project might face more delays because there is a debate over the quality of the pipeline between Abu Dhabi's National Oil Company and the Chinese construction group," said an industry source close to the project.
Tehran's rhetoric has put planners under increased pressure to open the pipeline, industry sources told Reuters, but added that a row over how the work has been done threatens even the latest target date.
"There is political pressure to start this pipeline because of what's happening with Iran," a second industry source said, adding that UAE leaders have been involved in overseeing the project.
The same industry source, who has direct knowledge of the project, explained: "The Chinese (construction) company is ready to commission the pipeline but ADCO (ADNOC's onshore unit) has to make sure first it suits its standards. So now they're working to do that."
"(The project) was initially done without the involvement of ADCO. That's why now they have a problem. The Chinese company has different standards."
Involved along with ADCO are International Petroleum Investment Company, owned by the Abu Dhabi government, and China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation.
Officials from the two were not available for immediate comment.
The pipeline will link the Habshan oilfields to the port of Fujairah, one of the top three bunkering hubs and a major oil storage terminal outside the Strait of Hormuz on the Gulf of Oman.
"Our impression is that the crude pipeline to Fujairah should be operational by August or September and crude sales will start then," said a Dubai-based analyst who declined to be named.
Iran remained defiant after the European Union this week agreed to impose an embargo on Iran's crude oil sales, a crucial source of revenue for the Islamic Republic.
Along with the EU, Washington hopes the sanctions will force Iran to suspend the nuclear activities it believes are aimed at making a atomic bombs, a charge Tehran denies. (Reporting by Amena Bakr and Humeyra Pamuk; editing by Jason Neely and William Hardy)

From the Cincinnati Bengals media relations department; Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton today was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week by the NFL. Dalton completed 21 of 30 passes for 199 yards, four TDs and 0 INTs (127.6 passer rating) in the Bengals 31-13 win vs. the N.Y. Giants on Sunday. It was the first game of his career with four TD passes. Daltons scoring passes went to four different receivers -- 56 yards to WR A.J. Green and 11 yards to WR Andrew Hawkins in the first quarter, and 10 yards to TD Jermaine Gresham and 10 yards to WR Mohamed Sanu in the third quarter. The last three of those TD passes came on third down. Dalton is on a record yards and TDs pace. Through nine games, he has posted a passing yards average that projects to a Bengals record. With an average of 258.8 yards, hes on pace for a full season to hit 4140. The club record is 4131 by Carson Palmer in 2007.

Fouad Makki, Development by Dispossession: Terra Nullius and the Social-Ecology of New Enclosures in Ethiopia Rural Sociology, December 2013
US universities in Africa 'land grab'
Download program audio (mp3, 50.24 Mbytes)
In Africa, corporations and nation-states are acquiring vast amounts of land, in a move reminiscent of classical imperialism. Sociologist Fouad Makki discusses the enclosure, or privatization, of land in countries like Ethiopia, with terrible social and ecological consequences. He traces the land rush to the global financial crisis, rising food prices, and the inner dynamics of capitalism itself. (Encore presentation.)

I know that some of you patients think that she is great. Just wait until she has a complete melt down in front of you. You shall see. I actually feel sorry for Dr. Accardi, but patients come first!
Dr Accardi is more than just a health provider in her profession. She ensures you have the care and treatment that is needed. I couldn't be happier with the results and I am grateful to have found her.
My name is Laura S. and I have been seeing Dr. Accardi for over 20 years. I have also referred friends and family to her. She successfully treated a relative in a crisis situation with almost no notice. She is a truly exceptional medical professional and dedicated to her patients. Her diagnostic ability is outstanding. I know that without her intervention and continued I have at least one family member who would not be here.
I was her patient. She reels you in with that charming veneer. You think that she is lovely and truly cares. Then when you are so sick and at her mercy watch out!!! She chews you up and spits you out! She only cares about the casholla not you!!! She overbooks and never takes accountability for all of her nastiness!! Always passing the buck on to her poor staff! She herself has mental illness and should NOT be licensed!!! Why would I go out of my way and waste my time to warn you people?! She meets all of the criterion of a SOCIOPATH!!! GREED, LACK OF EMPATHY, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SICK ETC... BAD, BAD AND MORE BAD NEWS THIS WOMAN!!!!
Dr. Accardi is an empathetic, skilled, and prudent psychiatrist. She takes care mentally ill clients with respect and precision. Her clientele is mostly dual diagnosis- severely mentally ill. The sickest population who NEED good care. I have no complaints.
I experienced her wrath and unstable demeanor firsthand. Dr. Accardi is a very sick woman herself. I was actually told by a highly respected psychiatrist to get away from her. The highly respected psychiatrist knew all about Accardi's poor reputation. In a nutshell, Ms. Accardi should not be practicing. She is crazy and is capable of turning on you on a dime. I actually feel sorry for her. However, patients come first. It is beyond me why her license has not been revoked a long time ago.
Every addict knows she is Quincy's prescription drug dealer at nova ,now she runs a "health and wellness" clinic in Weymouth. Someone needs to expose this monster that is getting rich off an epidemic that she is contributing to!!!
She overbooks and then blames it on the poor staff. She supplies the poor drug addicts with whatever they want. Then when tragedy happens she does not even take responsibility. She only cries crocodile tears. Terrible woman. She is never held accountable. What's worse is, why has not she been removed from practicing!!!! She needs to be investigated along with her husband!!!!!!!
This woman has had mental breakdowns of her own in front of everyone. One of her staff members told me "Dr. Accardi is not well". I just nodded in the affirmative because Dr. Accardi had a breakdown right in front of me. I do not think She should be "caring" for other patients.
Dr. Accardi, She really let me down. Pretends to really care. Then you find out that she only cares about money. Truly a let down. She has a very angry side to her.
Accardi Master manipulator. Only wants your money. She is crazy too.
if you need something she's the one to goto
Ms. Accardi- Unprofessional, unpredictable, always talking about how SHE needs a vacation! REALLY? Never experienced anything like this. Don't know how she became a so called Doctor.
Dr. Accardi is money hungry. She overbooks patients herself and then blames it on her staff! She is very unprofessional. She talks about her other patients in a negative way to the patient is talking to. She treats her office staff like they are sub human. Blaming her staff for everything,screaming at them in front of everyone. Why do you think there is such a big turnover in the office. Everyone quits because she treats them so terribly. This doctor is truly crazy. Her license should be revoked.
She is the worst.
My husband has been seeing Dr. Accardi for about 15 years. His diagnosis is schizoaffective disorder. She has worked with us improving his medications and enabling us to have a somewhat normal life without having to institutionalize my husband for this serious illness. She is a very caring doctor and will always make room on her busy schedule to discuss any emergency or problem. I totally disagree with the person who said she is an evil doctor...She is a saint.
This women is a evil and is ruining my families life she should not be allowed to practise !!!!!!!!
I would definitely recommend this doctor.

As someone with very little interest in football, but only interested when her hometeam makes it – here are some humorous and/or serious and/or not funny at all Super Bowl, football, and New York Giants images to keep you busy.
by MamaNYC // 16 Comments
As someone with very little interest in football, but only interested when her hometeam makes it – here are some humorous and/or serious and/or not funny at all Super Bowl, football, and New York Giants images to keep you busy.
My name is Nicole Napolitano and I am a full-time professional parenting blogger and work-at-home mom of two adorable and vivacious children (boy - 6 & girl - 2.5). I decided to develop MamaNYC in 2010 shortly (1-month) after transitioning from work-a-holic Internet marketing pro to the shoes of a stay-at-home mom (bored!). As a dedicated business manager for over 9-years, I was determined and positive that I would once again be a successful business woman -- whether or not I had a diaper bag tagging along!
I am a New York City native, but relocated with my husband and our two kids to sunny Los Angeles in the summer of 2014. Leaving everything behind was scary, but it's time to make new memories. My interests include web design, Internet marketing, product development and research, SEO, movies, friends, and spending time with my family.
Sure makes football a little bit more interesting.
bahah I'm lovin it. I don't really follow football but I found them funny
I'm with you! I don't follow football at ALL. We're a baseball only family! However, I will take a gander at Super Bowl if a home team makes it… Just the halftime show 😉
– Nicole @ MamaNYC!
Go Jest!
Well, those images cheered me up from the 49ers loss.
Aha! The JEST are almost as good as the GINTAS… But not this year!
… Not a bad "jokes" collection for someone lucky enough to know football is to touchdown as home run is to baseball? I tried my best…. really!
– Nicole @ MamaNYC
Ha these were too funny. I'm not too into football myself.
Not a football fan but i seem to get in on the excitement when my big boys come over to watch and i cook for them. I actually look forward to Superbowl Sunday
Thanks for the humor.
Oh I love the penguins!!! Don't care anything about football though…
I'm with you…halftime show only.
Except for one piece of trivia I can get a lot of people with each year. What year Superbowl is it?
It's always my age
Hilarious! I love the Jets fans one and the penguins.
lol at the "Jest" fans. Philly born and raised so always an Eagles fan, but I am rooting for the Giants.
I totally love Charley Brown! All of these made me laugh
don't really have a favorite football team….I just like football in general but I absolutely love the penguin cartoon
It's awesome but really i'm not a football fan.In there penguin cartoon is so funny……..
I wonder how many jokes we'll see about the Broncos next year 😉

Yoga is widely practiced by individuals of various ages and fitness levels, and the classical techniques of yoga date back over 5,000 years! There are dozens of variations and forms of yoga in existence today, but all focus on exercise, breathing, and meditation. Top-notch athletes turn to yoga to increase flexibility, build muscle strength, improve balance, and prevent injuries. However, you don't have to be an elite athlete to reap the countless health benefits yoga offers. Thousands of people have credited yoga for easing back pain, strengthening their core muscles, aligning their posture, and for achieving a meditative state of relaxation and increased focus. CoachUp boasts a wide selection of accredited yoga instructors across the country for you to choose from.
Working with a private yoga instructor is a great way to introduce yourself to yoga, elevate your current practice, or add to your training routine as a supplement to your fitness training. No matter your physical fitness level or familiarity with yoga, there is a form or style to fit your needs. One of the most popular styles of yoga is Hatha; a gentle introduction to the most basic postures (also known as "asanas") and breathing techniques. In Hatha yoga, you won't necessarily work up a sweat, but rather will walk away with improved flexibility, increased relaxation, and a firm understanding of the most basic poses. If you want to explore a more challenging form of yoga, pairing up with a CoachUp instructor that has a background in Vinyasa yoga would be ideal. The Vinyasa style is known for having a movement-intensive flow. Vinyasa focuses on linking your breathing as you move from pose to pose.
The yoga coaches available on CoachUp have studied many of the different variations of the practice, and have a solid understanding of movement science. Coach Trang, for instance, is a 200 Hour YTT Internationally Certified teacher who specializes in Vinyasa Flow Yoga. She likes to work with students with various backgrounds, and has extensive experience modifying each pose to fit your body, and avoid injury. Coach Ashley is also well versed in Vinyassa Flow, and practices Power Yoga. With a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Coach Ashley specializes in training those looking to improve their fitness level.

Rodney Bolt has lived in Amsterdam for nearly 20 years. He has written two guide books to the city, contributed to numerous others, and writes regularly about Amsterdam for magazines and newspapers around the world. For more than a decade, he reviewed local restaurants for Holland Herald, the KLM monthly inflight magazine. Together with criminal lawyer Britta Böhler, under the name 'Britta Bolt,' he writes crime novels – all set in Amsterdam – in which the city is almost a character in itself. Lonely Graves, the first book of The Posthumus Trilogy, was published in English in 2014.

Lush, at times gloriously over-the-top décor, in two 17th-century canal houses, convenient for shopping, dining and sightseeing. Some years back, Eric Toren took over his father's two-star hotel, and transformed it into a nest of opulence. What remains of the old family-run hotel, in this new luxurious incarnation, is the charm of personal service. Though the rooms can be small, Hotel Toren is an alluring, endearing place to stay, in an attractive part of town.
Read more: the best hotels in Amsterdam
On an attractive stretch of canal within the central canal belt, just around the corner from the Negen Straatjes shopping area, within walking distance of the Dam and Royal Palace, and on the edge of the Jordaan (a pretty quarter, known for its restaurants, boutiques and cafés).
Luscious fabrics, deep purples, rich colours, soft chairs, dark carved wood, subtle lighting and chandeliers. Mysterious and womb-like, The Toren is set in a couple of grand canal houses, and seems to suck you back into another world the moment you step through the door. Here and there original features remain – a painted ceiling, carved wainscoting, stucco moulding. There are zany touches, too: crocodile-skin and faux corrugated-zinc wallpaper alongside the flock and damask.
Staff are genuinely charming, friendly and attentive. They are very well informed about what's on and what to do around town, and can help with maps, independent restaurant recommendations and intelligent advice.
The lush décor from downstairs infiltrates the rooms, too, as do the period touches: a four-poster bed, perhaps, gilded ceilings, or an Empire-style writing desk. The rooms are individually decorated, and come in all manner of shapes and sizes. Some can be quite small (around 18m2), but the hotel is upfront about these when you book. Bathrooms are reasonably sized, and some of the more luxurious rooms have Jacuzzis. There are Rituals products throughout, and all rooms have espresso machines. The second house (a few doors down from the main one) is a little more subdued, with paler colours and a lighter touch.
Food & drink
There's a good breakfast, served till late (11am or 11.30 over weekends), and bar snacks (salads, panini, club sandwich) but no restaurant.
Value for money
Double rooms from €160/£115 in low season; rising to €300/£215 in high. Breakfast €14/£10 per person. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
No. Although there are lifts, there are stairs from street level, and getting around inside the building often involves stairways too.
"We're not a family hotel as such, but families seem to find us, and Mr Toren is happy to accommodate them by adding beds to larger rooms."

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
Saudi, Iran and the 'war' over the Hajj stampede
12 Dec 2009 03:14 GMT
Lobo was elected on November 29 in elections that had been planned before the coup [EPA]
No confirmation
There was no indication that a deal for allowing such a meeting had been reached with the de facto government that replaced Zelaya after a coup on June 28.
Zelaya also did not confirm that a meeting with Lobo was set.
He told the Associated Press news agency only that he was grateful to Fernandez for seeking to arrange the meeting.
"We are thankful for President Fernandez's gesture because it shows his intention to solve the Honduran crisis in an effort to benefit Central America. We are analysing his proposal and we are in communication with President Fernandez," Zelaya said.
However, Lucia Newman, Al Jazeera's Latin America correspondent, said that for Fernandez's statement indicates that negotiations are more advanced than one might first think.
"Fernandez has had a lot of success in the past in bringing conflicting sides together," Newman said.
"And Lobo has already said that he wants to bring about national reconciliation, and that he is willing to speak to all sides, including the deposed president."
Still at odds
Honduran officials and Zelaya have been at odds this week over the terms of a deal that would let him leave the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, without fear of arrest on the charges of treason and abuse of power that led to his removal from power and exile.
He has taken refuge in the embassy since slipping back into Honduras on September 21.
The government has insisted that he must concede he is no longer president, although his term runs to January 27.
Zelaya says he won't do that and on Thursday rejected a Mexican offer for a safe exit from Honduras.
"There is a lot of pressure on the de facto government to give in and stop trying to force Zelaya to sign a paper that says he resigns as president in order to give him a safe conduct pass," Newman said.
"Many countries, especially in South America, are staunchly resisting any recognition of the new government, no matter what deal is struck.
"They say that anything less than the reinstatement of the deposed president is saying that it is ok to have a military coup, as long as you have an election soon after.
"And that is not the message they want to send."
Ultimate departure
Zelaya told Brazil's Globo television earlier on Friday that he would remain at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa until January 27, 2010 at the latest, when his term formally ends.
"However, I would like to leave as soon as possible, obviously with the support of the Brazilian government," he said.
Brazil had also indicated that Zelaya should leave by the end of his tenure.
"He is absolutely aware that when his mandate ends, he will need to go elsewhere," Francisco Catunda, the Brazilian embassy's charge d'affaires, said.

This creamy, non-greasy milk gently cleanses without disturbing the skin's hydrolipidic film. Delicately removes makeup and surface impurities.
Agree with first review. Have tried many other cleansers, always come back to this one. It's gentle and cleans well without stripping my skin.
have been using this forever i have tried others but always come back to phytomer
I was introduced to the Phytomer product line at a dayspa, it was the best facial I ever had! I have severely sensitive skin and I heal very slow. They used several of the sensitive skin products during my facial and I went home with the basic skin care line. My favorite was this cleansing milk, it is so soothing to my irritated skin and since I have been using this line of products I have seen great results in only 2 weeks.
Emulsify with fingertips. Rinse with water, and follow with toner.
This product can only be shipped to addresses within the U.S.

"U.S. Spies on Millions of Cars"
Per documents released in response to a FOIA request, the federal government maintains a large program using automatic license-plate readers to track vehicles in real time (not just in later investigation) and nationwide (not just near borders). The program "collects data about vehicle movements, including time, direction and location, from high-tech cameras placed strategically on major highways." The resulting photographs are "sometimes" clear enough to identify drivers or passengers. "One email written in 2010 said the primary purpose of the program was asset forfeiture." Although the program is run by the Drug Enforcement Administration, its data is increasingly shared for investigations unrelated to drugs. [Wall Street Journal]
Forfeiture-driven law enforcement is at this point deeply embedded in our practice at both federal and local levels, and the small and ambiguous federal-level reforms announced by AG Holder earlier this month are unlikely to turn that around in themselves.
Conor Friedersdorf comments: "The DEA will obviously continue to lose the War on Drugs. We've traded our freedom to drive around without being tracked for next to nothing. … Unfortunately, leaders in the U.S. law enforcement community feel that they're justified in secretly adopting sweeping new methods with huge civil liberties implications." (cross-posted and expanded at Cato at Liberty). A different view: Jazz Shaw, Hot Air (could be useful in "managing crime," and think of the children: unless we let government monitor our comings and goings, the throwers of little girls into vans will win). And more: They can watch your car, but as Waze flap confirms, don't you dare watch theirs [Liz Sheld]
Update: new emails reveal plans of even wider scope, including a proposal (which DEA says was not acted on) to cooperate with BATF to track license plates of gun show attendees. The Guardian quotes me about the chilling effect systematic surveillance can have on the exercise of rights, and about the impetus for cooperation between Right and Left on reining in law enforcement use of data tracking. Note pp. 10, 27-28 of this NRA amicus brief in an ACLU mass-surveillance case. And earlier on license plate tracking here (Los Angeles FOIA), here and here (Maryland), and here (Radley Balko).

Brian Aitken at Cato
In several 2010 posts we covered the story of Brian Aitken, who was imprisoned by the state of New Jersey simply for carrying unloaded guns and ammo in his trunk (really, that was the extent of the crime). Last week Cato hosted Aitken to talk on his new book The Blue Tent Sky: How the Left's War on Guns Cost Me My Son and My Freedom. Tim Lynch of Cato moderated, and I gave comments. Event description:
In 2009 Brian Aitken, a media consultant and web entrepreneur, ran afoul of New Jersey's draconian gun laws when he was arrested while transporting two handguns unloaded and locked in the trunk of his car. Despite the fact that Aitken owned the guns legally and had called the New Jersey State Police for advice on how to legally transport his firearms, he found himself sentenced to seven years in prison.
In 2010 New Jersey governor Chris Christie commuted Aitken's sentence. But Aitken's experience, like that of other law-abiding gun owners who've faced long prison sentences for honest mistakes, raises troubling questions about gun-law overreach, prosecutorial discretion, and judicial abdication.
I recommended the book as a riveting and outrageous read, yet leavened with hope because of the story of the strong public movement that formed to protest the injustice of his incarceration. In my comments, I mentioned the feds' heavily armed raid on an Indiana antiquities collector. More on that story here.
Suit seeks to blame Newtown school massacre on gun suppliers
The new lawsuit by the prominent Connecticut personal-injury firm of Koskoff, Koskoff, and Bieder [news coverage: WSJ Law Blog, CNN] seeks to get around the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act by latching on to the law's narrow exception for "negligent entrustment." That's not a reasonable reading of the law, and I argue in a new post at Cato at Liberty that courts should toss attempts like these to revive gun control through litigation, all the more so because legislative attempts to overturn PLCAA (as I discussed last year) are rightfully going nowhere.
Some out there seem to think it's okay to use litigation as a way of lashing out against opponents, whether by way of a winning case or not:

I hate this day.
Comments (6)
Good luck with the screamer. Happy Valentine's day.
You can fulfill your child's materialistic needs by just visiting the Land of Imagination.
Delilah (11/08) Carolyn (1/10) Evalyn (2/12)
now, there are a really tired momma and an exhausted, congested baby in my livingroom. basicly, today sucks.
I'm sorry. Vday is never what people expect it to be.
My DS is still under the weather. He was getting better, but now his nose is running again. He's very cranky and has been screaming about everything. I'm frustrated and tired, but I also feel bad for him.
I guess our LOs don't know it's Valentines day and we're supposed to be pampering ourselves right now!
Hope your day improves and you feel better soon!
I'm sorry your day started out so rotten. I hope it gets better. See if you can find a way to "love" yourself despite the strep. Like take a hot bubble bath if LO takes a nap. Or just sit in front of the tv or curl up with a good book and don't feel guilty at all. And I personally recommend some chocolate too...it goes a long way in improving my mood. Feel better, and try to find some positives to focus on.
Proud mommy of a perfectly beautiful baby girl.

A whole-class support model for early literacy: The Anna Plan
Authors: Pamela A. Miles, Kathy W. Stegle, Karen G. Hubbs, William A. Henk, Marla H.
Abstract: The Anna Plan is a unique delivery model for enhancing schoolwide literacy
instruction in the primary grades. Based on the principles of Reading Recovery and Four Blocks
literacy instruction, it provides supplementary reading instruction through the distinctive use of
teaching staff. Over six years, it has resulted in sweeping changes in the way literacy instruction
occurs as well as noteworthy increases in children's reading abilities. This article gives a brief
history of the authors' work within the Anna Plan, explains each of the model's seven tenets, and
describes the research base that drives it. The focal point of the article is the detailed description
of the organization and components of the five-day framework used to augment classroom
reading and writing instruction. Finally, the authors recount how the Anna Plan has been
embraced by two elementary schools and offer some conclusions about what contributes to the
success of whole-class support models for early literacy.
The success of an elementary school is measured largely by the literacy levels of its
students. For this reason, principals and teachers routinely seek ways to enhance both the nature
and delivery of the reading and writing instruction they provide. This article explains how our
primary-level classroom teachers and reading specialists, with the support of our administration in
the Anna School District, changed the nature and delivery of our Title I and Reading Recovery
support services to significantly increase the reading achievement of our students.
Our whole-class support model has come to be known as the Anna Plan by the many
teachers and administrators who visit our school district in Illinois, United States, to observe it in
action at Lincoln Elementary School. These educators come to see how we apply the principles
of Reading Recovery (Clay, 1979, 1993) and Four Blocks literacy instruction (Cunningham & Hall,
1996) with all of the primary-age students in our school through the distinctive use of our teaching
Although the delivery of the Anna Plan differs uniquely from other successful programs for
the prevention of reading problems (see Pikulski, 1994), it shares several essential principles of
program success including small-group instruction, an emphasis on first grade, the use of
developmentally appropriate texts and repeated readings of them, a focus on word solving and
phonemic awareness, consistency between supplementary and classroom reading instruction, a
writing component, and ongoing assessment of students' progress.

Success for our students
Our reform efforts began in 1996 and have resulted in sweeping changes in the way
literacy instruction occurs in our school and in the noteworthy increases in our students' reading
abilities. When we began our journey, only 50% of our students met or exceeded the state
standards for reading. Not long afterward, nearly 90% of our students consistently met the
standards on statewide assessments. Today, although our students come from low
socioeconomic status (SES) homes and tend to begin school at very low literacy levels, some
75% of them could be classified as fluent readers by the end of the program in first grade.
As a result of our efforts, we have been recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education
as an "elite high poverty/high achieving school," which means that more than 50% of our homes
are low income and 60% of our students meet or exceed state standards in reading and math. We
are also honored that the Anna Plan (see Table 1) has been adopted or adapted by several other
schools in our state and beyond and that we have been recognized nationally as a model site for
literacy and early intervention. While we are gratified that our approach has been recognized by
the International Reading Association as one of its Exemplary Reading Programs, we care more
about the actual literacy success of our students and those who have come under its influence.
Their accomplishments are why we have been encouraged to share our story with fellow
educators, and helping other students is our motivation for writing this article.
In the following sections, we attempt to (a) provide a brief history of our six-year effort, (b)
explain each of the seven tenets of the model, (c) describe its research base, (d) detail our
five-day plan for instructional delivery, (e) describe how our model has been embraced by two
elementary schools in our region, and (f) offer some conclusions about what we believe
contributes to the success of whole-class support models for early literacy.
A brief history
Prior to 1996 our elementary building had one half-time and three full-time reading
teachers serving grades 1-7 through a variety of pull-out and instructional programs, including
Reading Recovery. While our teachers were pleased with the individualized instruction the
program offered, we were intent on finding a way to serve all the primary students in our school
because our reading achievement scores were at or below the national average and had been on
the decline over several years. The district administration and school board decided to make
reading their top priority in the primary grades, and they asked three of us (Pam, Kathy, and
Page 4
3 Miles, Stegle, Hubbs, Henk, & Mallette
Karen), as Title I reading specialists and Reading Recovery teachers, to present a plan of action
for reading improvement.
The plan needed to include alternatives to the existing Title I program (Title I is a federally
funded program for at-risk students), which until then had consisted of in-class support and
Reading Recovery for grade 1, small-group pull-out programs for grades 2 through 5, and in-class
support for grades 6 and 7. For this task, we were fortunate to have worked directly within our Title
I program and to have received training in, and experience with, Reading Recovery. We had
closely observed numerous children's reading behaviors and were pleased that many of our
at-risk first graders were becoming independent readers through the program.
As it turned out, the free and reduced-cost lunch count at our school (an index of SES)
showed that, in grades kindergarten through second, we would soon qualify for schoolwide
designation. This designation would permit Title I funds to be used to serve every student in the
primary grades. It also allowed us to implement a preferred-support model based upon seven key
tenets. That is, as we originally conceived it, the model for the Anna Plan was required to
• focus on research-based best practices,
• allow for common professional development,
• serve all students,
• provide for continuity within and between grade levels,
• permit time each week for collaboration among teachers,
• scaffold each student to work at her or his instructional reading level, and
• maintain a team orientation.
We began the change process with these seven tenets in mind and tried to remain true to them.
We spent the remainder of the school year visiting successful programs, attending conferences,
reading selected journal articles, and talking with experts about our literacy program. All of these
sources contributed to our plan.
Research base for the Anna Plan
Marie Clay's (1993) Reading Recovery research showed us the importance of explicit
reading strategy instruction with at-risk emerging readers. To learn more about strategy
instruction, we visited a classroom that used the Arkansas Plan for Early Literacy, a variation of
Reading Recovery, which was developed at the University of Arkansas. Here Reading Recovery
Page 5
4 Miles, Stegle, Hubbs, Henk, & Mallette
strategies were taught to small groups of at-risk first graders (Dorn & Allen, 1996) but with an
important difference. What made the model innovative was that students whose strategy use
needed more scaffolding were given continued help in the first half of second grade. During the
second half of the school year, the Arkansas Plan focused on enhancing the reading readiness of
at-risk kindergartners instead. This creative use of time became an important part of the Anna
Our thinking was still not complete, however. At the 1995 National Reading Recovery
Conference in Columbus, Ohio, we attended an extremely helpful session that highlighted a team
approach for early literacy in one classroom. In this approach, the Title I teacher, aides, and
classroom teacher (who was trained in Reading Recovery) assisted small groups of students in
guided reading. This example gave us the idea of forming reading teams with our classroom
teachers for small-group instruction. By grouping students in each class according to instructional
reading levels, we could apply Reading Recovery strategies in reading and writing with every
student in our K-2 school.
The National Reading Recovery Conference also exposed us to the philosophy and
research base of the Four Blocks literacy instructional model developed by Patricia Cunningham.
She introduced us to a balanced approach to literacy lessons in which teachers engage students
in meaningful reading and writing activities and model word structure and independent thinking
strategies (Cunningham & Allington, 1994, 1998).
Common professional development
We knew that shared training for all K-2 teachers on the elements of balanced literacy
would help bring about important mutual understandings. For the remainder of the school year,
our instructional team (consisting of Pamela, Kathy, and Karen; the entire K-2 faculty; our
instructional aides; and our principal) attended literacy workshops. These workshops focused on
balanced reading and writing, guided reading, and taking and analyzing running records—all
integral aspects of the Anna Plan. Our primary-grades team began to develop a common
knowledge base and philosophy for reading instruction, and we would work hard at implementing
and maintaining these beliefs through ongoing professional development and teacher dialogue.
Inclusive of all children
Before the Anna Plan, our at-risk students missed a good deal of regular classroom
instruction and related assignments because of their participation in a pull-out program (Allington,
1994). The classroom teachers felt that these students most needed the classroom instruction,
and they felt uncomfortable introducing new concepts and skills during these times. They knew
