Reading Recovery Lessons
Each Reading Recovery student has a 30 minute lesson every day. Lessons are individually designed for each student to use their strengths to further literacy processing in reading and writing. Careful observation, note taking, and assessment allow the Reading Recovery teacher to work at each child's cutting edge of learning.
