Reading Recovery
Welcome to Reading Recovery at
St Joseph's Catholic School
What is Reading Recovery?
Reading Recovery is an early Literacy intervention for 6 year old children that need a boost with reading & writing. Children are selected for the intervention from the results of the 6 year net assessment. Most children selected for Reading recovery become successful and independent in their reading & writing both at school & at home.
Each child has a 30 minute individual lesson with our Reading Recovery trained teacher each day, for about 20 weeks. This leads to accelerated progress over time so the child can achieve reading and writing levels appropriate for their age.
At St Josephs School we have a specially trained Reading Recovery teacher Mrs Julia Mitchell who runs the programme in Term 4. Please feel free to contact Mrs Mitchell or Deputy Principal Mrs Lowther at school if you have any queries about the programme or regarding your child's progress on Reading Recovery.
What you can do to help?
As Reading Recovery is expensive to run it is important that your child is at school everyday & that the daily home work component is completed. Each child will bring home a book to read and perhaps a cut-up story that they have written, to put together again. Please take part in these activities at home each evening and offer praise and encouragement for your child's efforts.
After a few weeks the Reading Recovery teacher will invite you to school to observe a lesson with your child and show you the cut up story that you and your child can do together at home.
