Reading Recovery is a research-based, short-term intervention of one-to-one teaching for the lowest-achieving first graders.
Reading Recovery students receive 30-minute lessons each school day for 12 to 20 weeks from a specially trained teacher.
As soon as students can read and write at grade level and demonstrate that they can continue to achieve, their lessons are discontinued and new students receive individual instruction.
