Reading Recovery is a program designed to give individual attention to first-grade students who need additional support learning to read. It intervenes early in a child's education to prevent future reading problems. Its goal is to accelerate students in 12-20 weeks to reach the average reading of their classes without further help. Children in the program will receive daily individual tutoring by specially trained Reading Recovery teachers. Parents will be invited to observe their child's lesson and to give additional support at home.
