With completion of their training class, the graduates will help provide intensive tutorials to struggling first-grade readers to accelerate their literacy learning so that the students can read at the same level as their peers and work independently in their regular classrooms.
Since its existence in FBISD, the Reading Recovery / Descubriendo la Lectura program has served more than 8,612 first-grade students who have had difficulty in learning to read and write.
