Broadcast Studio A fully equipped television studio was provided by a grant from the Jennings and Rebecca Jones Foundation. The studio is located in the school building. Students are then given individual, 30-minute lessons with specially trained teachers. The majority of children in the program catch up with other students after 12 to 14 weeks of this intensive instruction. When a student reaches the level of the other students in his or her class, they leave the Reading Recovery program and another low-reading level student takes their place.
