The school is part of the Reading Recovery Programme. Acting as a safety net within a good literacy
programme, Reading Recovery can be a component of a strong, comprehensive approach to bring
all students to literacy.
Reading Recovery is an early intervention for children who have made very little progress in reading
and writing during their first year at school. It involves a daily one-to-one lesson with a highly
trained teacher for a period of between twelve and twenty weeks. At the end of this time, most of
these children have caught up with their classmates and can read and write at a level within the
average band for their age. For a small number of children Reading Recovery will serve as an
intensive period of diagnostic teaching prior to referral for diagnostic testing. Both
of these outcomes are very positive for children in our school. Mrs. Kenny and Ms. Keown are our
Reading Recovery Teachers and they engage with the National Reading Recovery Programme in
Marino College of Education. We are very proud of the successes that the Reading Recovery
Programme has brought to our children.
