Reading Recovery Program

The Reading Recovery program is an early intervention program designed to dramatically reduce the number of students with literacy difficulties in an educational system.  It is a preventative program delivered to six year old students in grade one.  Reading Recovery is designed to move those students who are the lowest achieving readers and writers to average or above average levels in approximately twelve to twenty weeks.  These students have, in addition to classroom instruction, individual daily teaching which can bring them to average levels of achivement enabling them to profit from regular classroom instruction.
