Reading recovery is a highly effective literacy intervention program provided to students in grade one. Students are tested at the beginning of their second year of school and are then offered a place in Reading Recovery if they need extra help. It is one on one, thirty minutes a day of help  especially designed to accelerate reading and writing. As soon as children meet grade level expectations and demonstrate they can continue to learn in the classroom they are discontinued and more children are selected for the program.

Have a look at some of the research I have linked to this page, or the You Tube video, if you would like to know more.
