Reading Recovery (RR) in Maine
 


Reading Recovery Works

 

Reading Recovery lessons provide a balanced approach to literacy that develop strategies and skills that students can use in reading and writing. The following components are integrated within an individualized lesson:

  • Comprehension
  • Phonological Awareness
  • Reading fluency
  • Word recognition
  • Phonics
  • Visual perception of letters

The What Works Clearinghouse bestowed the "gold standard" to Reading Recovery as a true research-driven intervention. Of the 24 intervention programs reviewed in 2007, Reading Recovery was the only one to receive the highest ranking of "Positive Effects" on general reading achievement, phonics, phonological awareness, letter identification, comprehension, and fluency.
