Reading Recovery

Reading Recovery is an early literacy intervention program designed for children who have literacy difficulties at the end of their first year at primary school.

It involves reading and writing in a daily one-to-one lesson with a specially trained teacher for a period of between 12 and 20 weeks. It is supplementary to good classroom instruction. At the end of that time, most children have caught up with their classmates and can read and write at a level appropriate for their age. The Reading Recovery program forms an integral part of Montpellier's comprehensive literacy plan.
