Reading Recovery™

The Reading Recovery™ Program is an effective early intervention program designed to
reduce dramatically the number of children with literacy difficulties in schools. It is a second
chance, prevention program delivered to the lowest achieving students in Grade 1. These
at-risk children have, in addition to classroom instruction, daily individual teaching which
brings them to average levels of achievement for their classes in a short time.

Reading Recovery™ is designed for children who are the lowest readers in the ordinary classroom without exception.

The Reading Recovery™ Program is currently offered in 37 WSD schools. For more
information call Shirley Halayda or Irene Huggins, Reading Recovery teacher leaders at
489-4689, Fax: 487-4985.
