"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

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.
