About Us
Rick McAtee is the owner of Turning a New Page. Rick holds an M.S. degree in Reading and has over 25 years of
educational experience, 16 years in the classroom working with students from kindergarten through 8th grade and the past
9 years working directly in the field of Reading. He has worked as a National Reading Consultant and Staff Developer for
major publishing companies. His work with large urban school districts to raise scores through teacher training and staff development earned him the recognition to be asked to work with inmates in a Federal Prison. The charge was to take
inmates reading at 2nd grade and below and enable them to get a GED. His success with this project was documented in
the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy and an ABC special, Reading: Your ABC’s to Success, hosted by Kelly Ripa.
Rick’s work with adult struggling readers enabled Turning a New Page to produce materials designed to prevent younger students, who are struggling with reading, from having to face the same bleak future. Rick’s ability to break down the
process in a unique way and present the material to teachers in a format and style that is doable in the daily classroom instruction has proven successful across the US and Canada. The research is solid, the test scores impressive, and the testimonials from principals, directors, teachers, students and parents complete the story.
Rick developed Cracking the Code: Marking Letter Patterns in Words, and Writing Steps to Success . Rick is a children’s author and continues to write books in the Alphabetland Series.
