Reading Recovery Program

Children requiring assistance with reading at the end of their first year of schooling may join the Reading Recovery Program.  This program provides the children with a half-hour a day individual reading assistance by a trained Reading Recovery Teacher. There are criteria for selection and individual assessments are conducted to ascertain the needs of individual children.

This program provides IEP which sets objectives, monitors and evaluates their individual progress catering for their personal needs. Programs are devised by a support team which may include people within the educational and medical systems.
