Reading Recovery is a highly effective short-term intervention of one-to-one instruction for the lowest-achieving first graders. Individual students receive a half-hour lesson each school day for 12 to 20 weeks with a specially trained Reading Recovery teacher. As soon as students can meet grade-level expectations and demonstrate that they can continue to work independently in the classroom, their lessons are discontinued, and new students begin individual instruction.
Reading Recovery’s one-to-one instruction delivers measurable results in weeks not years. After a full 12 to 20-week series of lessons, more than 66% of students meet grade-level expectations.
