Reading Recovery Packages
Reading Recovery is a short-term, one-on-one tutoring intervention aimed at supporting first-graders having difficulty learning to read and write. We are proud to be a partner with RR since their inception in the U.S. in the 1980s.
125 of our English Books for Young Learners are officially leveled by RR, with many more being field-tested now for leveling.
