Beginning in Fall 2006 all Reading Recovery professionals will be required to use the new Reading Recovery guidebooks, entitled Literacy Lessons Designed for Individuals, Part One and Part Two.
Emporia State University will be offering summer training on these new guidebooks for trained Reading Recovery teachers in three locations around the state this summer.
Marie Clay has once again expanded our possibilities for teaching individuals who find learning to read and write most difficult by providing a third revision of teaching procedures in Literacy Lessons Designed for Individuals, Part One and Part Two. In these new works, she has extended teaching rationales, linked new theoretical understandings, provided further explanation of familiar procedures, and added new teaching procedures.
With the understanding that change is an integral part of the design of Reading Recovery and flexibility is the hallmark of an excellent teacher, Reading Recovery professionals around the world are anxious and excited to begin using the new teaching procedures.
At all levels Reading Recovery professionals will be working with the new teaching procedures, developing stronger theoretical understandings, and making links to new resources. This process of digging deeper into the guidebooks and discussing the important aspects of teaching a program for individuals will stimulate our thinking and cannot help but improve the outcomes for the students we teach. |
