Reading Recovery is a short term early
intervention program for the lowest achieving first grade students.
In Reading Recovery, these lowest performing students are given
individual instruction and a second chance at initial literacy
learning.
In twelve to twenty weeks of special instruction,
supplementary to classroom instruction, the goals are:
to temporarily lift the pace of learning
to permanently lift their levels of achievement
to build a solid foundation for subsequent literacy learning
The Cobb County School District has implemented Reading Recovery
since the 1993 1994 school year. Currently, in CCSD, there are
twenty two Reading Recovery teachers working in fourteen sites.
Thirteen of these sites are Title I schools. Cobb has one Reading
Recovery Teacher Leader who works with these trained teachers and
sites. Cobb is currently training another Teacher Leader through
Georgia State University.
The hard-to-teach children who need this early
intervention do not follow predictable paths of progress. That is
why individually delivered and individually designed teaching is
needed.
