Reading Recovery (RR) in Maine
 


"No other early reading intervention measures up to Reading Recovery's overall ratings and improvement indices." -What Works Clearinghouse, US Dept. of Education's Institute of Education Services

 

Reading Recovery is a short-term, scientifically-based, early intervention literacy program designed for children who are at risk of failing to learn to read and write in the first grade. It significantly reduces the number of children with literacy difficulties in schools.

 

Reading Recovery, developed by New Zealand educator Dr. Marie Clay, provides a second chance at literacy learning for the lowest achieving first graders.

 

  • Children meet one-on-one with a specially trained teacher for 30 minutes everyday and are provided individually tailored lessons for 12 to 20 weeks.
  • Children become successful readers and writers, working within the average range in their classrooms and continue to make good progress throughout their schooling.
  • Reading Recovery significantly reduces the number of children with literacy difficulties, closing the literacy achievement gap.
  • Evidence show that children continue to make further gains after Reading Recovery.
