Costs of Reading Recovery interventions vary
across school districts and regions of the country. When comparing
costs of interventions for the lowest-achieving first graders consider
these factors:
Number of Reading Recovery students
served daily
Salary and benefits of the teacher
to determine estimated costs per student
Length of daily lessons
Duration of intervention
Outcomes for the lowest-achieving
children
Additional benefits of intervention
"Every
$3 invested in Reading Recovery saved $5 in other costs." -Moriarty,
Massachusetts State Legislature, 1997
