Welcome to Reading Recovery!

Welcome to the Reading Recovery web-site.  Wow, we have great readers at Limestone-Walters School.  They are using meaning, structure, and visual clues to help problem solve unknown words in the context of a story.  It is so exciting to see their growth and improvement.  

Reading Recovery is an individual intervention program designed for first grade students.  Lessons are carefully planned to meet the specific needs of a particular student.  During these individual lessons, a child has the opportunity to read and write daily.  It typically is a 12 to 20 week program that allows students to become successful, independent readers and writers.

Reading aloud to your child is always a good idea.  It promotes enjoyment in reading, strengthens comprehension, builds vocabulary, and provides a role model.  Your child's listening comprehension is higher than his or her independent reading level. 

Most importantly, reading is a SKILL, and it improves with practice, just like any other skill.  Research shows that students who spend time reading daily are more likely to become good readers.
