    READING RECOVERY   

Reading Recovery is a one-on-one instructional intervention for first-time first-graders who have difficulties learning to read.  These struggling students receive one-on-one instruction in reading and writing 30 minutes each day for approximately 12 to 20 weeks.

Reading Recovery does not take the place of classroom instruction.  This intervention teaches the child to be a critical thinker equipped with a set of strategies for problem solving while working with text.

The goal of the program is to bring these children's literacy skills within the range of their peers' achievements.
