Item Empowered teachers: Key to reading recovery(2022-10-15) Kaye, Elizabeth L.For decades, Reading Recovery® teachers have been successfully teaching first-grade children who have been unsuccessful in their classroom literacy programs to read and write within a period of only 12 to 20 weeks. The key to Reading Recovery’s success is not found in a box of purchased materials, a strictly sequenced curriculum, or a set of scripted lessons. To the contrary, the key to Reading Recovery’s success is a knowledgeable, effective teacher. Thus, when schools select Reading Recovery, their investment is in developing teacher expertise. Participating teachers are provided professional development that empowers them to design and deliver high-quality, individual lessons for young learners in need of specialized support to acquire early literacy. The quality of this teacher training is an important guarantee of the Reading Recovery trademark.
