Reading Recovery is a strong researched base early intervention program for first graders who perform in the bottom 20% of their class in reading. Students receive one-to-one teaching in daily 30 minute sessions. Each child has tailored lessons designed to engage them in lots of reading and writing at an appropriate level. The child’s progress is carefully observed and analyzed by a certified Reading Recovery teacher who is trained to reflect on their own teaching practices. These tutorial sessions can last from 12-20 weeks depending on the child’s progress.
