New products and improved instruction techniques are introduced periodically. The spalding resource center continues to be upgraded and is a major source for instructional videos, downloadable practice material, digital classic & reading foundation teacher guides and the new oral reading fluency teacher manual. The spalding academy mobile app launched in 2025. Also during 2025, the program received approval as a tier I instructional program by the arizona department of education.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $3.1M to $3.6M (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
