<p class="MsoNormal">Dear library directors and Ready to Read key contacts,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hardcopies of the 2014-2015 Ready to Read Grant application have been mailed to all library directors and key contacts, please look for them in your snail-mail. Digital copies of the application are available to download from the State
Library website in both word format and PDF (<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutready.aspx">http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutready.aspx</a>). Remember, the list of grants which tells you how much money your library
may apply for is not available online because it is subject to change between now and when you receive your grant in December 2014. The grant list is attached and is included with the hardcopies you should receive this week or next week via snail-mail.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last year I provided coaching to the libraries that needed the most help with outcome based evaluation (OBE) on their 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant application, and I promised I would send out OBE guidance to all of you with the 2014-2015
application. That guidance is below. I highly recommend that you read it thoroughly and have it in front of you when you fill out the application because the guidance walks you through the application step by step. I’ve created two examples of completed applications
that reflect the examples in the guidance below so take a look at them to see how it all fits together. In addition, I’ve attached 3 scanned copies of real applications that demonstrated OBE successfully that look different than my two examples—we all have
different ways of thinking and communicating so I thought these might be helpful too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please contact me if you have any questions or need help. As Ann Reed always says, “call early, call often!”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Katie<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PS: Remember, the proposed changes to Ready to Read still have to go through the legislative process and, if approved, Reading for Success will replace Ready to Read starting with the 2015-2016 grant cycle.<o:p></o:p></p>
