What Is Reading Recovery?
Reading Recovery is an early intervention program designed by Dr. Marie Clay of New Zealand. This short-term model of instruction is for young readers who are experiencing difficulty in their first year of reading instruction. Such children often go through a cycle of confusion, frustration, and anxiety. This pattern of thinking quickly leads to feelings of failure for these "at risk" children. They often fall behind their classmates and require expensive long-term remedial help, and some never learn to read.
By intervening early on, Reading Recovery can halt the debilitating cycle of failure for at-risk children and can enable them to read within the average range of the class reading performance.
The Reading Recovery program is designed to serve the lowest achieving readers in a first-grade class. In the Reading Recovery program, children receive individual daily lessons from a specially trained teacher.
Why Implement Reading Recovery?
Because it:
- Serves high risk children and diminishes their numbers
- Is curriculum independent and provides equality for diverse populations
- Delivers a high level of teacher training without removing the teacher from their work
- Provides built-in coaching and evaluation within the host district
- Ties program evaluation, teacher evaluation, and training evaluation directly to student performance
- Involves cooperation between the university, state, and school levels of education
- Enables teachers to be accountable observers of children and consistent designers of curriculum
The Components of Reading Recovery
Program for Children
Children from the lowest 20% of their class receive intensive one-to-one instruction for 30 minutes daily. After 12-20 weeks, most attain an average or better reading level and require no further help.
Program for Educators
Reading Recovery educators participate in a full year of university-based training, followed by supportive, ongoing professional development at the local, regional, and national levels.
Research and Evaluation
Reading Recovery is a data-based intervention. Numerous individual studies support the program's success, and ongoing data collection for every child served in North America ensures program integrity.
Network Activities
Reading Recovery educators, administrators, and institutions form an early literacy network dedicated to making it possible for all children to become literate. Network activities include research, publications and professional development.
