I see 4 RR students. I also have 2 early literacy groups (1 with 6
students, 1 with 4 students) . I see a 2nd grader as part of RtI (sort
of?). I am in the process of testing kdg. and will begin with a group of 4
kdg's. soon.
Last year I had 4 RR students (each round), 1 student (RtI) who just moved
to the US from Taiwan and spoke no English. I had 3 Early Literacy groups
(one with 7 students, and two with 6 students). That was crazy!
I hope things work out for you Gina.

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 barghini
