Students in Year 1 who are experiencing difficulties reading and writing may be selected to take part in the Reading Recovery Program. Students on the program are withdrawn from class for 30 minutes a day to work 1-on-1 with our trained Reading Recovery teacher. Students stay on the program for approximately 12 – 20 weeks.
At the beginning of the year, the ‘most in need' students from year 1 students (approx. 20% of the grade) are tested to see whether they are eligible to join the program. Between 6 and 10 students will receive the benefits of the reading recovery program each year.
Reading Recovery students are monitored and tested until the end of year 3 to ensure they are maintaining their levels in reading and writing.
Our Reading Recovery Teacher is Mrs. Dabit
