"If literacy were a house we were building, Reading Recovery would be the foundation"
"When the previous Mansfield City Schools administration halted the Literacy Collaborative partnership with the Ohio State University in 2007, it also reduced the district's 21-year Reading Recovery relationship with Ashland University.
"Reading Recovery is on the rebound this year -- serving more students and training more teachers -- in what Superintendent Dan Freund has described as an essential supporting safety net to Literacy Collaborative.
"Freund was in the audience July 27 -- five days before he began his work as superintendent -- when the board of education approved a new Reading Recovery contract with AU. Asked his opinion before the vote, Freund said, 'If literacy were a house we were building, Reading Recovery would be the foundation. It is very important.' "

About Reading Recovery
Reading Recovery is a research-based, short-term intervention of one-to-one teaching for the lowest-achieving first graders.
Reading Recovery students receive 30-minute lessons each school day for 12 to 20 weeks from a specially trained teacher.
As soon as students can read and write at grade level and demonstrate that they can continue to achieve, their lessons are discontinued and new students receive individual instruction.

The New Face of Reading Recovery
Hi, I'm Jodie Washek and I am a primary literacy coordinator and Reading Recovery teacher. Before being trained in Reading Recovery, I worked with 25 students in small groups along with being a literacy coach. With the dual role I have now, I work with students and teachers in grades K-2 in many different aspects of the Literacy Collaborative framework. In Reading Recovery, which involves about half of my school day, I work with 8-10 students annually.
Hello, my name is Sarah Hoepf and I am a Literacy Collaborative Coordinator and Reading Recovery teacher. Before becoming a LC Coach I taught first grade and also a first/second combination. As a classroom teacher, I taught 26 students each year. In my current role, I coach 14 teachers (who teach a combined total of 314 students in our elementary school). We focus on using assessment data to plan instruction and meet individual students' learning needs. In Reading Recovery, I work with 8-12 first grade students each year. The classroom/ intervention/ coach connection helps us to work together for the success of all our children.
