Reading Recovery has been continuously implemented in the district since the 1997-98 school year, and more than 2,00 students have received Reading Recovery lessons.  Reading Recovery teachers spend the other part of their teaching day providing small-group literacy instruction to struggling students in Grades 1-5.
