Reading Recovery

Reading Recovery is an early intervention programme which provides intensive, individual help for children who, after a year of schooling, have not responded to classroom teaching in reading and writing.

The main aim is to boost the reading and writing skills of the lowest -achieving children to average levels for their chronological age.
