Mission: We prevent literacy failure by supporting specialized and continuous professional development that results in strong teaching to improve student achievement. We accomplish this through collaborative partnerships which foster the following: Reading Recovery ¬and its reconstructions (Descubriendo la Lectura and Intervention Préventive en Lecture-Écriture) as essential components of a comprehensive literacy plan; expert, responsive teaching of children; professional development, grounded in one-to-one instruction, for teachers in various roles; ongoing development of knowledge and practice based on research, data, and the theoretical work of Marie Clay.
Programs: The Council provides a wide variety of programs and services, including publications, annual conferences, web-based learning, advocacy, technical assistance, and special institutes. These activities strengthen the implementation of Reading Recovery and provide opportunities for Reading Recovery professionals to collaborate with early literacy advocates and other education professionals.
