Reading Recovery Programme – 6 year olds

Reading Recovery is delivered as a one-to-one intervention programme by a trained Teacher.

During a learner’s Reading Recovery series of lessons, they receive daily, individual instruction of 30 minutes from a trained Reading Recovery teacher. The intervention is discontinued when the teacher judges that the learner is achieving in literacy at an average level for Year 2, that is, can take full advantage of the classroom programme without additional support (usually 10 to 20 weeks).    http://nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz/System-of-support-incl.-PLD/Learner-initiated-supports/Reading-Recovery
