Develop their literacy skills now; prepare them for their future.
The Reading Recovery® program, since its conception in 1984 by Dr. Marie Clay, has been a highly effective short-term intervention that utilizes specially trained teachers for one-to-one tutoring as a supplement to in-classroom teaching.
Southeast Missouri State University has been a Reading Recovery® site since 1991 and since 1997 has received bipartisan state support as part of the Missouri Statewide Early Literacy Intervention Program (MSELIP).
