The Reading Recovery Program at Southeast Missouri State University:

• Collaborates with Missouri school districts from all regions
• Leads statewide efforts for positive systemic change in literacy education
• Conducts and coordinates current and follow-up research
• Proactively works toward the goals of appropriate strategic plans including those in force at the College, University, and national Reading Recovery® levels

Group Component

The group component of the Missouri Statewide Early Literacy Intervention Program (MSELIP) teaches trained Reading Recovery® teachers to work with groups of children. Additional classes supporting classroom and resource teachers are offered to build their skills in differentiated instruction in literacy in an effort to create literacy supportive classrooms.
