Through the Reading Recovery teacher's ability to question, the child discovers a way of linking what is known to the unknown. The goal of the teaching is to assist the child in producing effective strategies for working with text. Parents are encouraged to meet with the Reading Recovery teacher and to watch a lesson in progress to learn how they can better support their child at home.
