RECOVERY
Reading RecoveryŠ is a program designed to help first grade
students become more successful readers and writers. A teacher
trained to identify, diagnose, and meet the needs of beginning
readers will work individually with a child for thirty minutes
each day. The child will also be receiving reading in the regular
classroom. The program lasts about 12-20 weeks. At the end of
this time, each child will be retested to see the gains that have
been made in the program.
Reading Recovery is a different way of
teaching reading. It has helped many first grade children
understand early reading strategies, develop phonemic awareness
and become more confident in the classroom.
