DoDEA Suspends Reading Program

Week of March 16, 2009

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA)  suspended the use of the Reading Recovery program in its European schools for the school year that begins in the fall. Reading Recovery, a manpower-intensive literacy program that aims to bolster literacy skills of low-achieving first grade students, has been discontinued in DoDEA's Pacific schools. The program is just one of the literacy programs under review by DoDEA's Literacy Task Group. Students participating in Reading Recovery this year will continue to receive assistance next year through other initiatives should they need it.
