Recovery

Elementary. I am currently serving four students. The other half of the
day I am coaching teachers for Stepping Into Literacy (Pre-K) and
Balanced Literacy (K-3).
What is
Reading Recovery? Reading
Recovery is an early intervention program designed to asist the lowest
achieving children in first grade who are having difficulty learning t
o read and write. Children meet individually with a specially trained teacher
for 30 minutes each day for an average of 12-20 weeks. The goal is for
the children to develop effective reading and writing strategies.During
this relatively short-term intervention, these children make faster than
average progress so that they can catch up with their peers, or "recover"
the ground they were lagging behind in, and continue to work on their own
within an average group setting in the regular classroom.--Reading Recovery
