Reading Recovery
Reading Recovery is a first grade early intervention program designed to increase reading success and to reduce reading failure in later years. Each day, is a structured 30 minute lesson, in which a child meets one-on-one with a highly trained reading teacher, to learn and use strategies when trying to figure out "unknown" words and clear up misconceptions about printed material.
Each thirty-minute lesson includes reading familiar books, taking a running record of the "new" book from the day before, magnetic letter identification/word analysis, writing, and reading a new book. Reading Recovery was developed in New Zealand by distinguished educator Marie Clay. The program is extensively embedded in research, and continues to be successfully replicated in the United States. We are fortunate to offer this highly successful program in all Lincoln Public Schools.
