READING RECOVERY

Reading Recovery is for students, who, close to their 6th birthday, are experiencing difficulties in literacy acquisition. 

Students who have not made satisfactory progress in their first year of literacy instruction are selected for this intervention, and accelerated for a short time to be able to fully participate in the classroom curriculum.  

How It Works

Since 2021, Reading Recovery has evolved to provide an early literacy support framework that supports an all-school approach to building positive and equitable outcomes for children.

Building on the success of its one-to-one approach with children, it now offers a three-tiered support framework that will enable a broader range of children to access literacy support.

The underlying concept guiding this strategy is the use of co-design teaching models that allow classroom teachers to benefit from the rich expertise of Reading Recovery teachers. Together, the teachers co-plan lessons that best suit the needs of their students.
