What is Reading Recovery?

Reading Recovery is a short-term, early intervention program designed to help first-grade students who are struggling with reading and writing. Specially trained teachers work one-on-one with students in daily 30-minute lessons, focusing on individualized instruction to accelerate their literacy development. The goal is to bring students up to the average reading level of their peers, enabling them to continue learning effectively in the classroom. Reading Recovery has been widely implemented in schools around the world and is supported by research demonstrating its effectiveness in improving early literacy outcomes.
