Reading Recovery is:
. an early intervention program only offered to students in first grade.
. Reading Recovery teachers devise a program designed especially for each
child. Teachers work from the child's strengths and teach effective strategies
for independent learning.
. The power of the intervention is the fact that children are seen every day
for 30 minutes.
. The goal of the program is to help the child who is experiencing difficulty
in reading and writing learn and progress at an accelerated rate.
. Children move through the intervention quickly in 15-20 weeks. It is the
hope that the children will be able to advance with their classmates after the
intervention is complete and will not need further remediation.
. Parents have found Reading Recovery to be the best,most individualized help
a child will ever receive in school.
. Reading Recovery teachers select children through input from the classroom
teacher and a screening process. Children are then selected on the basis of
need.
