Reading Recovery is a short-term literacy intervention for first grade students who have extreme difficulty learning to read and write. Implemented world-wide and throughout the United States, Reading Recovery provides specialized initial training and ongoing professional development to licensed school-based educators.

Oakland University’s Reading Recovery Center has a long history of literacy leadership and service to Michigan schools. Established in 1991, the OU Center is one of only 13 universities in the United States, and the only one in Michigan, to offer Reading Recovery training and ongoing professional development to educators.
