Reading Recovery

Reading Recovery is a short-term reading and writing intervention for first-grade students. Specially trained teachers work individually with students in daily 30-minute lessons lasting 12 to 20 weeks.

The What Works Clearinghouse, a division of The United States Department of Education, studied the effectiveness of over 220 reading programs. They found that Reading Recovery had positive effects on every indicator measured, which included phonics (letters and letter sounds), fluency, comprehension, and reading achievement.

Reading Recovery requires ongoing data collection for each child who is served in the program. Because accountability is a key part of Reading Recovery, administrators receive annual reports at the teacher, school, and district levels.

“The search for solutions has no end.” (Marie Clay)  

All RCPS Elementary schools have a Reading Recovery teacher serving first-grade students.
