Resources for Reading was founded in January 1994 by a Reading Recovery Teacher and her engineer husband. Along with the other teachers in her Reading Recovery training group, she had trouble locating sources for the materials needed to implement Reading Recovery . The books themselves were the easy part. Much harder were things like magnetic letters. Lower case magnetic letters were another story altogether.
Teachers know better.
We found manufacturers around the world who make the letters in different styles, and have collected them together here for you. Many other items either were not available, or the ones that were available just weren't suitable for teachers. We negotiate with many manufacturers around the world to make custom products to our specifications, exactly what Reading Recovery teachers need. You'll find that our easels, writing journals, and sentence strips are of the highest quality available, and are specifically designed for use in Reading Recovery . In addition, we have a wide variety of reading games and motivational aids for early literacy teachers, including materials for letter recognition, phonics and phonemic awareness, word building, vocabulary, guided reading and interactive writing.
