Key Findings
1. The profile of Reading Recovery from 2004-05 to 2013-14 shows declining participation, overrepresentation of certain student subgroups, & lower discontinuation rates than national or state averages.
2. Students who completed Reading Recovery from 2005-06 to 2011-12 demonstrate low MAP reading proficiency in later grades, indicating they are still among the students most in need of support.
3. When compared to similar peers, Reading Recovery students in 2012-13 and 2013-14 had higher literacy rates on the Grade 1 Reading Recovery assessments, but generally similar results on other literacy assessments in Grades 1 and 2. Attendance rates were similar in Grade 1 and similar or higher in Grade 2, depending on the match used.
4. Reading Recovery has cost approximately $5 million over five years (average of $1 million/year) with a large majority from Title I.
