The year 2017-2018 was my training year. For one whole year, I went to class each Tuesday after school to become trained to teach Reading Recovery. These are some memories of that first year! Oh what a year of hard work and sleepless nights but it was so, so worth it! These children worked so hard and made so many strides. They became readers and writers not only in my eyes, but they believed it themselves. At the end of the year, we wanted to do something special for them and gave them a grand Reading Recovery Celebration for our students and their families.
