Evidence for Early Literacy Intervention: The Impacts of Reading Recovery

Policy Brief
2017

Research increasingly links low literacy levels in the early grades with a range of poor outcomes; for instance, students who read below grade level at the end of third grade are about four times less likely than their higher-achieving peers to graduate from high school (Annie E.
