What Works Clearinghouse

Response to Intervention

Alignment with Federal Policy Including Compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Reading Recovery includes all five essential components of reading instruction under the No Child Left Behind Act. Reading Recovery is by definition an early intervening service and a response to intervention. Its high success rate reduces referrals and placements in special education and provides a full diagnostic history for the few children who may need further, long-term literacy support.

Former Reading Recovery and Descubriendo la Lectura students sustain their literacy gains. See TAKS results for former students.
