Reading Recovery^®

Developed in 1984 by Dr. Marie Clay, Reading Recovery^® is a highly effective short-term intervention of one-to-one tutoring for low-achieving first graders.  The intervention is most effective when made available to all students who need it and when used as a supplement to good classroom teaching.  In Reading Recovery^®, individual students receive lessons from specially trained teachers.

Southeast Missouri State University has been a Reading Recovery^® site since 1991 and since 1997 has received bipartisan state support as part of the Missouri Statewide Early Literacy Intervention Program (MSELIP).
