Reading Recovery in Maine
- Dr. Marie Clay developed
and established this early literacy intervention to reverse
the failure cycle in early reading acquisition in a relatively
short period of time. Reading Recovery is a national program
in New Zealand and has expanded to Australia, the United States,
Canada, The United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Bermuda, and
Denmark.
- The first Teacher Leaders from
Maine were trained in the early 1990's at Ohio State University.
Since then, the University of Maine has become a training site
for both Teacher Leaders and new Reading Recovery teachers.
- Under the leadership of the
University Trainer, Mary Rosser, the University serves as a Training
Center for Maine and provides initial and ongoing professional
development for teacher leaders from around the state. Currently
the state of Maine team has 6 consortia in place through out
the state with close to 200 trained Reading Recovery teachers
offering early interventions to over 5,000 first grade students.
- Many schools in Maine incorporate
Reading Recovery as an essential component in their Response
to Intervention model.
