Reading Recovery®: Top to Bottom

“Reading Recovery has one clear goal: To dramatically reduce the number of learners who have extreme difficulty with literacy learning and the cost of these learners to educational systems."

– MARIE M. CLAY, Founder, Reading Recovery

'There are other groups of children who would probably benefit from the use of Reading Recovery teaching procedures. It is because these procedures are designed for adapting the instruction to the learning needs of individual children that they can be applied to many beginning readers who are in some kind of special education. And, because the procedures allow for accelerated progress, they are particularly useful for young immigrant children entering English, or Spanish, or French programmes for five- to seven-year-old children.'

— Marie Clay

Reading Recovery Parent: "I'm so proud of my little guy. I love listening to him read to me. Just a few months ago he wouldn't even sit for me to read to him. Now he's excited for books! I can't wait to introduce him to all my favorites and hear his too. A very big thank you to his awesome teacher!"
