Reading Recovery Effectiveness: A Five-Year Success Story in San

Journal of School Research and Information, 17(1), 3-12.
Background
Brown, Denton, Kelly, and Neal used two standardized tests to assess
California students' continuing achievement through fifth grade.
Researchers measured achievement of 760 students who were served in
Reading Recovery between 1993 and 1998. Student performance in
second through fifth grades was assessed using the Iowa Tests of
Basic Skills and Stanford Achievement Test, Ninth Edition.
Findings
The authors reported that "more than three-fourths of the children
who successfully completed Reading Recovery achieved standardized
test scores in the average or above average range" (p. 10).
Considering that these Reading Recovery students began at the bottom
of their class in first grade, their subsequent progress through
fifth grade was impressive.
