Success in the early grades does not guarantee success throughout the school years and beyond, but failure in the early grades does virtually guarantee failure in later schooling. If there is a chance to prevent the negative spiral that begins with early reading failure from the start, then it seems necessary to do so.

Reading Recovery is an early intervention literacy program that helps first-grade children develop the effective strategies and problem-solving processes used by successful learners. Developed in New Zealand by educational psychologist and educator Marie M. Clay, this intervention for children who are at risk of failure in literacy operates on the assumption that early, high quality instruction has the greatest potential for lasting impact. In the Reading Recovery Program, children receive intensive, one-on-one instruction from a specially trained teacher for 30 minutes daily. During these lessons, children interact with interesting and meaningful print through reading many "little books" and writing their own stories. Although a framework is followed, each lesson is unique because the teacher is responsive to the child's individual learning needs. That is, in a supportive role, the teacher works at the cutting edge of the child's competence. The results can be remarkable. After only 12 to 20 weeks of tutoring, an overwhelming majority of children drawn from the lowest 20 percent of their classes, achieve accelerated progress and continue to be successful without further intervention. |
