Reading Recovery®

What is Reading Recovery®?

Reading Recovery® is a research-based literacy intervention designed to reduce the number of first grade students with reading and writing difficulties. In addition to the regular classroom reading instruction, low-achieving students receive daily individual instruction designed to accelerate reading and writing achievement to the average grade level. Reading Recovery® is designed for students whose reading scores fall in the lowest 25% of the first grade classroom.

The adequate provision of Reading Recovery® in a school means that in terms of literacy:

• Every student can have access to the best possible learning opportunities
• Every student can be helped to reach full potential
• Equity can be achieved and maintained
• Students needing long term literacy support are identified early
