An important announcement from Rebecca Sitton and Educators Publishing Service
January 2008
Happy New Year! Best wishes to you for a great 2008. Some exciting changes are here for us at Egger Publishing, Inc.
Over the past several months, we came to realize that Sitton Spelling was reaching a critical point of growth, forcing us to ask, “Can our dedicated staff continue to effectively manage your needs?” Not wanting to risk the high-standards you have rightly come to expect, we made an important decision to pass the baton to a publisher who can bring Sitton Spelling to the next level.
In December we selected School Specialty Literacy and Intervention, a wonderful publisher in Cambridge, MA. School Specialty Literacy and Intervention was chosen based on our shared commitment of working with educators to develop quality materials.
School Specialty Literacy and Intervention has an excellent reputation in the publishing industry, built over 50 years of developing highly effective materials to help struggling readers. Their exemplary customer service will provide you with the same timely support and information you have come to expect from us at Egger Publishing. We firmly believe School Specialty Literacy and Intervention is the ideal publisher to continue bringing the advantages of Sitton Spelling to you, our valued educators.
Robert Egger and I will be working with School Specialty Literacy and Intervention to manage the business transition and complete the kindergarten word-skills program. I will also help support you through School Specialty Literacy and Intervention, and will continue to be accessible at my home number, 480-473-7277 or at rsitton@sittonspelling.com.
We sincerely thank you and all the fine educators across the country for recognizing the merit of Sitton Spelling. The support we received over the years from every one of you has allowed us to provide an authentic alternative to customary spelling instruction and memorized word lists. It has made an educational difference! From my point of view, what more could I have ever wished for but the opportunity to do work worth doing!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Sitton

School Specialty Literacy and Intervention is pleased to announce that Sitton Spelling is now part of the School Specialty Literacy and Intervention family.
Sitton Spelling, based in Phoenix, AZ, has provided breakthrough spelling instruction for grades 1-8 for over 10 years. In that time, the author, Rebecca Sitton, has worked closely with many educators to refine and enhance the spelling program to meet the demanding needs of today’s classrooms.
We strongly believe that Sitton Spelling fits perfectly with our history as well as our current educational materials. It was developed by Rebecca, an educator who recognized the need for a program that improves students’ spelling where it really counts—their writing. Her commitment to providing teachers and students with the best possible educational materials mirrors the dedication we’ve applied to our products and services for the past 50 years.
We are thrilled that Rebecca and her colleagues will stay on board to assist School Specialty Literacy and Intervention with the Sitton Spelling product line.
School Specialty Literacy and Intervention has an excellent reputation in the publishing industry, built over 50 years of developing highly effective materials for struggling readers. We recognize it is the continued support we receive from you, our valued customers, that has helped to make this reputation possible.
It is our goal in the coming months and years to bring you the same quality, flexibility, and value that our customers expect from School Specialty Literacy and Intervention. To meet the changing demands you face in your districts and classrooms, we are also moving to connect our time-tested content with new technologies—a winning combination that will afford you more opportunities for truly reaching all of your students.
Sincerely,
Rick Holden
President, School Specialty Literacy and Intervention
