Federal Policy Alignment
Essential
Components
In 2000, the National Reading Panel published a list of five
essential components of reading instruction which were incorporated
into the No Child Left Behind legislation. Reading Recovery
incorporates these five elements into daily lessons and adds four
elements supported by the research literature. Read more about how
Reading Recovery aligns with the five elements of the National
Reading Panel report.
- Phonemic Awareness
- Phonics
- Vocabulary
- Fluency
- Comprehension
Scientifically Based Reading Research
(SBRR)
Reading Recovery meets the definition of scientific research
published by the Institute of Education Sciences of the United
States Department of Education (USDE).
IDEA
Reading Recovery can play an important role in a school’s
implementation of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities Education
Improvement Act (IDEIA; IDEA). The revised IDEA legislation allows
the use of response to intervention (RTI) as an alternate method for
identifying children with learning disabilities. IDEA 2004 also
permits local agencies to use funds for early intervening services (EIS).
