Reading Recovery

Reading Recovery is a research-based early intervention program to reduce reading and writing failure.

Within the Reading Recovery program, each student's regular classroom instruction is supplemented with a 30-minute daily lesson individually designed to meet his or her literacy needs.

The students selected to participate in the Reading Recovery program are those who, after a year at school, appear to be at greatest risk of literacy failure.

The 30-minute daily Reading Recovery lesson includes activities in text reading, letter identification and text writing.

Reading Recovery's success as an early intervention program in literacy has been carefully documented since its inception and it has proven to be extraordinarily successful.

In 2005 Reading Recovery is being implemented by 837 public schools as well as a number of schools in Catholic and other private education systems.

Every Reading Recovery teacher completes a year of training, involving both theory and practice.

The training of Reading Recovery teachers is the responsibility of qualified Reading Recovery tutors.

The best way to help your child in Reading Recovery is to make sure your child attends school every day in order not to miss a Reading Recovery lesson.
