Reading Recovery

Home > Curriculum  > More Curriculum  > Curriculum 1 > Reading Recovery

St. Mary’s has demonstrated its commitment to raising children’s achievement in literacy by setting up a Reading Recovery programme. Reading Recovery is a well-established and researched intervention schemed designed by Marie Clay for Y1 and Y2 children who are experiencing reading difficulties.

The programmes are adapted to suit each child’s individual needs and learning style and are delivered by our trained Reading Recovery teacher, Austra Gillespie.

Parents have been very happy with their children’s progress.

“My child is much more independent now and has grown in confidence”

“My child can read and write a lot more words. Before the programme he would just guess when he came to a word he didn’t know, but now he can work out words by using the sounds of the letters.”

Over the period of 2012-13 the Reading Recovery Programme accelerated progress for 10 pupils. Most pupils successfully completed the programme and caught up with their peers. All pupils made good progress relative to starting points.
