The Reading Recovery Program -- Analysis
The Reading Recovery program is an intervention informed by research that seeks to expedite learning and lowering the writing and reading failure rates among learners that fall in the lower 20% within the first year. The approach is a brainchild of a psychologist and educator from New Zealand who came up with the findings in 1980. Dame Marie Clay observed from his research and his observation of good practice in the classroom to evolve Reading Recovery. The program was already widely used in New Zealand by 1988. It also spread to Australia, the U.S.A. and lots of other European nations (NSW Government, 2016).
The program is designed to enable learners succeed within a supportive classroom environment. The New South Wales Department of Education and Communities (1999-2011) acknowledges this with little extra support. The initial years are critical for learners that are on the brink of failure because the stage is a preparation for learning at a later stage. If such intervention is not facilitated, learners are pushed to pursue remedial learning in the long-term; a protracted and expensive process. If the intervention is made within the schools in second year, Reading Recovery has the potential to stop...
If there is a persistent instruction on a daily basis, it can improve the literary performance of the lowest learners within 12 to 20 weeks.
Methods, Tools and Assessment Used Within the Program
The program is a cohesive, systematic and comprehensive in its implementation. It uses sound instructional approaches that work well as a foundation for effective instruction. It takes a whole year to train teachers, professional support network, evaluation and research elements for the program monitoring of effectiveness at the state and international platforms and for purposes of ensuring accountability.
The Reading Recovery Program is strongly anchored at all levels, local and otherwise. The teachers on the program render teaching lessons that run for 30 minutes every day. This sums up to a total of between 30 and 50 hours of lesson for 6 students at most. The lesson is learner focused and designed for the individual needs of each learner. The method is complementary to routine classroom instruction by way of providing the learner with a range of reading and writing at the instructional levels that are ideal for the learners (NSW Reading Recovery, 2016).
The program comes with the strongest evidence…

This is why Hall advocates a "disengagement" from that image of American public life. Getting some distance from this aspect of the dominant culture will enable a framework for evangelism that embraces the diversity of God's community. Thus, Christ can truly become the "all in all." Keifert defines the two main challenges in American culture as being the moral imperative to respect diversity, coupled with the spiritual imperative to nurture
Yellow Wallpaper and Paul's Case: Emancipation of Mental Captivity The two texts, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper and Willa Cather's Paul's Case, portray the main characters with hysteria. Both cases are reactions to the pressures put on them by their families as well as the society. They seem to build mental barriers that cannot be brought down, so called safe heavens, escape from harsh realities and this puts them
Counseling Theory: The Bondage Breaker In The Bondage Breaker, Neil T. Anderson presents a very religious and somewhat controversial approach to therapy; he believes that some problems may be the result of demonic possession and his therapeutic approach incorporates traditional Christian methods for dealing with demonic possession. It is important to realize that Anderson does not believe all psychological problems are the result of demonic possession or even that they
The recent rash of unexpected emergencies to rattle the nation, from the Boston Marathon Bombings to the Oklahoma City Tornado, has demonstrated the power of instinctive action in times of crisis, as onlookers and passersby have sprung into action at a moment's notice, caring for the wounded, administering medical assistance, and managing recovery efforts. While these widely publicized incidences of catastrophe causing the human instinct to intuitively make sound
The timing of the quantitative easing is therefore essential. The first round of QE in 2009 essentially served the purpose of stabilizing the economy; the second round is intended to sustain the ongoing economic recovery by providing sufficient capital in the system that the positive momentum generated in the economy will eventually become a feedback loop of its own that results in the restoration of GDP growth and a reduction
