Following the success of Reading Recovery the Lift off to Literacy programme was devised so that more children could benefit from the Reading Recovery strategies. The children are broken into five groups based on reading ability so that they are working at an appropriate level with other children of similar ability. Each group takes turns to participate in the following stations:
-
New Book
-
Phonics/ Word Study
-
Writing
-
Familiar
-
Independent
The teacher adapts the activities of each station to the ability of the group in front of him/her. Each station lasts 8 minutes and then the children move to the next station.
