Welcome
-
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.

Reading Recovery Earns High Marks from the What Works Clearinghouse
Reading Recovery received the highest marks from the What Works Clearinghouse, a division of
the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences. Of the 153 beginning reading programs
reviewed, only Reading Recovery was found to have positive effects across all four literacy domains
and only Reading Recovery received the highest possible rating for general reading achievement.
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) released a 3-year independent review of the experimental research
on Reading Recovery in March 2007. This authoritative, independent assessment clearly establishes
that Reading Recovery is an effective intervention based on scientific evidence. The WWC found that
Reading Recovery has positive effects—the WWC’s highest rating—on students’ alphabetics skills and
general reading achievement. They found potentially positive effects, their next highest level of evidence,
on fluency and comprehension outcomes. See

then Reading Recovery.
