Abstract

Many children enter first grade without the background knowledge necessary for success in reading. They are placed in traditional reading programs where they are quickly left behind. Unfortunately, once a student initially falls behind it becomes difficult to catch up as the years progress. Once a student is placed in a special education program he/she rarely ever rejoins the regular curriculum of his/her peers (Spiegel,1995). However, Reading Recovery is an interventional reading program in use today that gives initially low-achieving readers an opportunity to receive the special help and enrichment they need to perform at the level of their peers.
