I would be really interested in hearing how your schedule works seeing so many
children and providing 1:1 reading recovery services. I am also trained and
also received small literacy training in Arkansas. I just returned from a RTI
training and the presenter was not advocating 1:1 services and since moving to
MT funding is different and I am no longer able to service children using
either program. Please share more how you are able to serve so many. Thanks.

I am a Reading Recovery teacher. Do you really think that helping the most
struggling 1st graders is a waste of money? Do you think that these
students would make greater gains being in a small group or remaining in the
classroom alone? Children in Reading Recovery have a program specifically
designed for them. It looks at their strengths and builds on them. In the
classroom, teachers don't have time to focus on one child with such
intensity. They don't have the time to spend helping the child learn in the
way that is best for them. Classroom teachers have too many other kids who
each have their own needs. Untangling the most confused 1st graders is
certainly worth it in my opinion. By the way, I see more students in a day
than any of the first grade classroom teachers have in their classroom. I
work hard each and every day to meet the needs of my students. I'm sorry
you had a bad experience. I guess it was a good idea that you left if you
don't believe in the philosophy. Maybe you should examine your own teaching
if the 3 students made no gains in your 2nd grade classroom.

I did reading recovery for one year. I agree, it is a very expensive program
to serve just a few children. We did find gains, but I also noticed that
when they went to 2nd grade (I went to 2nd grade also), they did plateau. In
fact, last year, I had 3 of my reading recovery kids and none of them gained
a reading level during the year. I didn't believe in the philosophy of the
program and that is why I left after one year. I also felt in the second
half of the year when i did reading recovery, I was more of a special ed
teacher than anything else. I am not a huge advocate of the program, as you
can see........

We have two reading recovery teachers. Many of us feel that they do not
service enough kids.
Meeting kids one on one is not the best use of man power for our needy
school,
We find that many of the kids that are exited plateau in 2nd grade.

I was teaching in CA as a Reading Recovery servicing 4 students 1:1
and 2 Small Literacy groups with 6 kids each. I moved to Bozeman,
Montana 11 years ago and I was able to continue RR for the 1st two
years. However due to limited title funds, I am not able to offer 1:1
services. I do feel it was the best training I have ever received. I
am able to analysis data, identify the reading need and design an
intervention with more expertise because of my RR background. I just
don't always get to use the material I would like to as we need to use
specific programs as we are RTI school.
I was curious when a 1st grade title teacher mentioned she is servicing
low 1st grade using RR and said she is working with more students then
the first grade teachers. i wanted to hear more about her schedule and
number of students and if she is just servicing grade one. Thanks, gina
