Sheena Brieske Reading Recovery Teacher |
---|
Reading Recovery is an intensive, one-on-one, short-term intervention for first grade students. It is designed for students who are not learning to read and write as quickly as their peers. Children in Reading Recovery receive a daily 30-minute lesson from a specially trained Reading Recovery teacher for 12-20 weeks. Reading Recovery is provided to students, in addition to regular classroom instruction, during the school day. Instruction is customized; it is based on your child’s prior knowledge, strengths, interests, and areas needing improvement.
