	Re: Reading Recovery vs. Masters vs. new programs? Posted by suzy on 3/16/08 I have a masters as a literacy specialist/reading specialist. I switched districts to learn RR. It is my 10th year in RR. RR is not short on comprehension. Each child has a program made for him/her. It is the keeping of the balance between all three sources of information (meaning, structural and visual) that is what the child has to learn as he/she makes meaning from the text. The RRT is responsible for having a child make a shift in learning every single day. It is a lot work, a lot of analyzing each and every day. Yearly recertification, 6 sessions of continuous contact per year and a lesson behind a one way glass in which your RR colleagues learn as they watch you and you learn as they talk with you after your lesson. The point is to help the child. It is extrememly rewarding. It is hard, especially when you are working with children with severe emotional problems, who have IEPs already. There is alot of paperwork, report writing, entering of data on national site. It is a certification program = 6 graduate hours. I love it. I am a very experienced teacher. I take everything I know and incorporate it (at least I try!) into a child's lesson for that day and then the next one, etc. Work with classroom teachers and parents, if they will.
