Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery Milestone achievement

2019 is a milestone year in PEI where Reading Recovery has been serving young children for 20 years. Reading Recovery is available in both English and French for children in Grade 1 who are struggling the most to learn to read and write!

Current Reading Recovery Teachers and Teacher Leaders celebrating 20 years of success

So many people have been involved in successfully implementing Reading Recovery, from teachers to administrators to teacher leaders to ministry staff and of course the Reading Recovery Trainer.

First Trainer – Diane Stuart and First Teacher Leader – Georgina Clow

We gratefully acknowledge the partnership and collaboration with the PEI Department of Education, English and French school boards, schools, principals, teachers, parents, and students throughout the implementation of 20 years of Reading Recovery on PEI!

Huge Asset

Reading Recovery is a HUGE asset to any school! It has helped my son become a strong, independent reader and has given him the confidence to tackle books that he never would have attempted before. The Reading Recovery teacher is a fantastic teacher who has helped my son become a ‘reader’ and enjoys the process of learning.

Absolute MUST

This program is an absolute must. For our child, it changed his whole demeanor. He went from pushing through his tasks to taking absolute pride in his work. His teacher made the Reading Recovery program very exciting for him because he never wanted to miss a class because he enjoyed it that much.

Favourite Things to Do

I am very pleased with the Reading Recovery program at the school. My son was indifferent when he was being taught letters in kindergarten and at the start of grade one he was very apprehensive about reading. Now he is very good and confident with his reading and says that it is one of his favourite things to do!

"With problem readers it is not enough for the teacher to have rapport, to generate interesting tasks and generally to be a good teacher. "

“The goal is to help children move from where they are to somewhere else by empowering them to do what they can do and helping them engage in activities through which they can learn more.”

“There are strategies, Professional Development and Professional Learning Community implications that ALL teachers benefit from when Reading Recovery is implemented. The strength in this intervention is in how teachers observe and change their teaching to suit the needs of the students they are working with. Another strength is in how teachers meet regularly to WATCH each other teach, ask questions about the strategies they are using, ask each other what they think they can change or adjust to assist their students to learn more effectively.

The question is………… Why can’t we all do that? IMAGINE where our students might go?”
