What is Reading Recovery?
Reading Recovery is an early
intervention program designed to assist the lowest achieving
students in first grade who are having difficulty learning to
read and write. Children meet individually with a specially trained
teacher for 30 minutes each day for an average of 12-20 weeks.
Reading Recovery Implementation
means
A shift in focus from providing
remedial services to providing children with one-on-one instruction
at the acquisition stage of learning to read. We want to accelerate
their learning before they have a chance to fail.
Key Features:
Short Term Intervention
A Reading Recovery program is provided for a child for approximately
12 to 20 weeks.
Early Identification
Children are screened beginning
the second week of school using An
Observation Survey, Clay, 1991. The lowest performing
children are selected first. At age 6-7 the gap is small between
the low and average progress children and can be closed with
accelerated learning. Wrong learning patterns have not become
habituated.
