Welcome to the 52nd Annual Illinois Reading Council Conference
Dear Guest,
In 2002, I attended my first IRC conference. It was my second year of teaching. I was overwhelmed by all the knowledge shared and found it difficult to know how and where to incorporate all I learned within my classroom! Yet, I knew that I would be back. And I have. I have been lucky to be able to attend every conference since then and IRC has never let me down.
This conference has directly impacted my teaching. From what books I select to use in my classrooms, what methods I use to keep students engaged, how I incorporate technology, and so much more, I owe to this annual conference. Beyond the professional learning, I’ve been blessed to foster great relationships with so many teachers from all over the state. My “IRC friends” are awesome. We are a crazy crew of author stalking literacy junkies. Knowing I have such a strong literacy support group in my corner has given me the courage to go out on a limb and try new things within my own classroom.
So, when given the daunting task of chairing an event I hold so dear to my heart, I wanted to put the Spotlight on the Literacy greats I love, who have all been introduced to me through IRC or my “IRC Friends.” Our featured speakers this year have all directly impacted me in my classroom in some way, shape, or form through their practices, their writing, or their friendship.
Thank you so much for attending. I hope this year’s conference spotlights the learning and camaraderie that it has given me in the past.

Prior to each autographing session, please purchase the books you wish to be autographed. Books are available at each author’s publisher’s booth or Anderson’s Bookshops booths in the exhibit area. Most authors will be signing in the designated area located at the back of the exhibit hall. A separate line will be formed for each author.

If an individual would like to have more than three books signed by an author, there are two options: A a. Bring purchased books to Authors Signing Booth and ask for bookplates. (There are limited quantities.) b. Go to the end of the line and wait to have three more books signed by the author. The author may or may not have time U to sign additional books because authors agree to sign for specific time periods. Presentations by authors are listed in the program book.

The Prairie State Award for Excellence in Writing for Children honors an Illinois author whose body of work demonstrates excellence, engenders a love of literature, and embraces an important part of the Illinois Reading Council Mission – to promote lifelong literacy. Congratulations! MATTHEW CORDELL
Welcome IRC’s newest Prairie State Award winner Matthew Cordell. Matthew Cordell is the Caldecott Medal winning author and illustrator of Wolf in the Snow, and the illustrator of numerous highly acclaimed children’s books including The Only Fish in the Sea and Special Delivery (both by Caldecott Medal winning author, Philip C. Stead), First Grade Dropout and Second Grade Holdout (both by Audrey Vernick), The Knowing Book, Bob Not Bob, If the S in Moose Comes Loose, Rock ‘n’ Roll Soul, and the wildly popular Justin Case series. Matt is also the author and illustrator of many celebrated picture books including Another Brother, Wish, Dream, and Hello! Hello! Matthew will be honored at the Illinois Reading Council Conference on Thursday evening, October 3rd, at the Prairie State Award Banquet. Matthew will also be part of the Hear the Authors Read event following the Thursday PSA Banquet and three featured author sessions throughout the conference. Please join IRC in congratulating Matthew Cordell. 2019 IRC Conference 43
The Illinois Council for Affective Reading Education and The Illinois Reading Council STATIC STICK DECAL CONTEST
The Illinois Council for Affective Reading Education (ICARE) and the Illinois Reading Council (IRC) invite YOU to design a STATIC STICK DECAL that encourages children to read.
QUALIFICATIONS You must be a student in grade 4, 5 or 6 in a school in the state of Illinois.
GUIDELINES Make your original design in the 4 inch square on the back of this sheet. (Teachers may copy the application form as many times as needed.) Invent an original character(s) to include in your design. You may NOT use any published cartoon or comic characters (including characters such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Heroes, Pokémon, etc.) nor any computer-generated art. Develop an original saying or slogan. You are limited to three colors plus black and white. The label with Illinois Reading Council and Illinois Council for Affective Reading Education must be on the STATIC STICK DECAL design but it may be moved from the location on the application form. Complete the application form on the back of this sheet. Mail it with your design to: Kathleen Sweeney c/o Illinois Reading Council 203 Landmark Drive, Suite B Normal, IL 61761
ENTRIES MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN MARCH 1!
THE STATIC STICK DECAL CONTEST WINNER WILL RECEIVE: An autographed book by a well-known children’s author. An invitation for the winner and his/her parents to be our guests at the Friday Luncheon at the annual Illinois Reading Council Conference. The winner will sit in a place of honor and be introduced during the luncheon. 30 STATIC STICK DECALS with the winning design to distribute to classmates.
TIPS Don’t forget – The work MUST BE ORIGINAL. You may not use any published trademark, cartoon, comic characters or computer-generated art. Keep the art work simple and positive. Too much detail within the space provided may result in a smeared look when the cling is reproduced. Fine line markers, pens and pencils work the best. Crayon is usually difficult to ead.r A white background provides a cleaner design. Spelling must be standard and correct.
