Maria provided a wonderful explanation of Reading Recovery to the question posed by another poster. However, what she failed to iclude in her description was the toll it takes on the teacher. Reading Recovery is a daily one-on-one 30- minute drill. It is a program with distinct sequences of instructional activities with no room for creativity or spontanaity within lessons. Frankly it turns a teacher's brain to mush! Boring, robotic, mindless work, not only for the teacher but also for the students. And be careful...the Reading Recovery police will come after you if you stray a tiny bit from the mandated policies! I was so thankful that my district finally dropped RR that I actually went to church to thank God!! I feel rejuvenated and reborn! I'm a good teacher once again! Warning...if you are approached and asked to be trained to teach Reading Recovery, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction!!!
