Re: Reading Recovery vs. Masters vs. new programs?
Posted by beth on 3/14/08

    Hi
    I got a master's in literacy last year and a reading
    specialist certification. I am familiar with Reading
    Recovery, but not with the other two programs that you
    metion. The best training that I have gotten ANYWHERE from
    my undergrad through my masters, has been RR. It is hands on
    and you are able to get results in a relatively short amount
    of time with most children. See the results and evaluate day
    to day as to what the child needs. As a teacher you work from
    his strengths and build on them. For myself, I really believe
    in this program. So much of what I have learned in RR is
    carried over to all the early grades, K-3 because so many
    children are on different instructional levels.
