Reading Recovery is an early literacy intervention program designed for children who have literacy difficulties at the end of their first year at primary school.

It involves reading and writing in a daily one-to-one lesson with a highly trained teacher for a period of between 15 and 20 weeks. At the end of that time, most children have caught up with their classmates and can read and write at a level appropriate for their age.

Reading Recovery is trademarked around the world.
