Reading Recovery

Southeast Missouri State University is one of 23 University Training Centers (UTC) in the United States. The UTC provides training for Reading Recovery^® teacher-leaders in the state of Missouri.

Developed in 1984, Reading Recovery^® is a highly effective short-term intervention of one-to-one tutoring for low-achieving first graders. The intervention is most effective when made available to all students who need it and when used as a supplement to good classroom teaching. In Reading Recovery^®, individual students receive lessons from specially trained teachers.

Southeast Missouri State University has been a Reading Recovery^® site since 1991 and since 1997 has received bipartisan state support as part of the Missouri Statewide Early Literacy Intervention Program (MSELIP).
