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.
Reading Recovery is not a packaged program for purchase. It is not scripted or based on a single-factor solution. Instead, Reading Recovery is an investment in professional development for teachers who then design individual lessons for the lowest literacy achievers.
Reading Recovery’s one-to-one instruction delivers measurable results in weeks not years. Click here to see the Heartland Reading Recovery Site Report.
