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 the Reading Recovery teacher leaders at 489-4689, Fax: 487-4985.
