The Reading Recovery Program is an early literacy intervention program designed to dramatically reduce the number of students with literacy difficulties in an education 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 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. Most students are brought to average levels of achievement enabling them to profit from regular classroom instruction. Children who require longer-term support are identified and referred to the Student Services Team for further intervention.
