[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]reading resource teacher here... Reading recovery is a great program! consider yourself lucky that your school has it! First grade literacy skills are the foundation for reading success and the intense nature of reading recovery can make the difference for some children. reading recovery teachers are highly trained. You have to have intensive professional development and training Beyond being a reading specialist.

If you want to learn more about guided reading, Jan Richardson is considered an expert in the field.

The research on Reading Recovery is inconsistent but it does involve best practices for literacy instruction and can be very successful with some children who show signs of being at risk for reading difficulties.

Is Reading Recovery multi-sensory?  [/quote]

Yes.  Each lesson involves activities that are multi-sensory.  I am really passionate about literacy so I have to applaud OP's school for being so on the ball. The fact that here we are in week 2 and you are already receiving intervention is incredible.  Many schools don't even get kids identified as at risk until late October.  I also tutor on the side and the families that I work with in private schools would kill for this level of intervention instead of having to pay me $ 40-50 an hour!

Please don't get flash cards or workbooks! Literacy instruction can not be mastered in a vaccuum. That is to say, phonics and phonemic awareness instruction should be embedded in active reading and writing activities not drill and kill style.[/quote]
