  Reading Recovery is an early intervention that helps the lowest achieving first grade children to develop effective strategies for reading/writing and reach average classroom levels in twelve to twenty weeks.  The goal of Reading Recovery is to help children become independent readers with internal self-extending systems for learning.  Reading Recovery operates within educational systems through three key components:

 

1.  intensive daily one-to-one instruction for first grade children who are at risk of reading and writing difficulties;

 

2.  on-going training through which Reading Recovery teachers are instructed in proven Reading Recovery techniques;

 

3.  a research program that monitors individual school's results and provides on-going support to teachers and school districts.

 

Parents are invited to attend one of the child's lessons and are an important part of their child's learning.  Each evening a selection of familiar books and the child's own writing are sent home for sharing with parents and other family members.
