How are children selected for the Reading Recovery program?
After consulting with classroom teachers, the Reading Recovery teacher identifies individual first-grade children to take the Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement. The children who perform at the lowest level are selected to participate in Reading Recovery. (The Observation Survey measures a student’s reading and writing competencies.) No one is excluded from participating, including children with lower IQs, second-language children, children with low language skills, those already identified as learning disabled, etc.
