Reading Recovery Works

I am a retired Reading Recovery Specialist and worked 25 years with children who were high risk and saw the amazing results of this program!

Without Reading Recovery your first graders will end up in costly remediation services throughout their schooling. Why get rid of the most effective short-term intervention that has brought the gift of literacy to millions of first graders?

Please keep this program

Reading Recovery is good for kids. There is extensive research that cites how valuable it is for our children. It must be put back in the budget and continued in Warwick Schools!

This program is fundamental a changes the outlook for struggling readers to succeed.

Reading Recovery changes non-readers into readers everyday! Every child deserves the chance to learn to read. For many struggling readers Reading Recovery may be their only chance to catch up to their peers. Don't take their chance away!

Please save this program. It is absolutely a wonderful program for struggling readers. It is researched based and shows the tremendous growth in most Reading Recovery students.

Reading Recovery is a researched based program that works for struggling readers and writers in 1st grade. This is a program that should be a part of the nation's education systems not a grant. This program is exciting to our young students. They enjoy, blossom, engage, and light up. This program is such a confidence builder and it needs to stay in Rhode Island. Thank you

Please keep Reading Recovery in Warwick Public Schools!

Reading Recovery works! Children's lives are changed and their world becomes a place of discovery and meaning when they learn to read and write.

Nothing can replace a good book!!!!

Reading Recovery is, without question, the most effective early literacy intervention available. More than 30 years of research backs this up. Please show your concern for students' success by keeping Reading Recovery.

This program is critical to the success of so many of our young readers. Budget amendments must be made so that this invaluable support may continue!

Reading Recovery Works! My son had Reading Recovery intervention in 1st grade. He is in 5th grade now. Yesterday report cards came home and he maintains a B+ average in reading and on STARR testing he scored ABOVE AVERAGE and is reading at an 8th grade level! I have always felt if he didn't have this program he would still struggle with reading.

Reading Recovery has received the highest marks by the What's Working Clearinghouse of the USDE. No other early literacy intervention compares.

Why take away something that is so successful?

As a certified reading specialist I fully support this program.

Reading Recovery is by far the MOST effective program with which I have worked in my 32 years of teaching!

I've seen nothing but positive outcomes from this program! It was be a huge loss to school systems and most importantly students if they were to remove this program.

As a 1st grade classroom teacher I am aware of the importance of reading instruction in the early grades and of the struggles that face many students in this area. Over my 28 years of teaching,both in the special Ed. and gen. Ed. settings I have seen, used, and been trained in a number of instructional programs. By far Reading Recovery offers the best intervention for struggling readers. I have benefited and thus my students from working with our Reading Recovery teacher and from sitting in on Reading Recovery sessions. Do not drop this amazing program!
