More than one-million school children in the United States have gone through a program called Reading Recovery(阅读恢复). The program is for six-year-olds with difficulties in learning to read.
Reading Recovery came to the United States in 1984. Education expert(专家) Marie Clay of New Zealand developed the program. A number of other countries also use this method. Programs are quite different from school. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says more than 25% of the United States public schools with first grades use the program.
The Reading Recovery method requires a specially trained reading teacher to work with children one at a time. The lessons take a half hour each school day, including reading, writing and the study of the letters of the alphabet(字母表).
Reading Recovery lessons take place for twelve to twenty weeks. During the lessons, the teacher looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher works to help the students develop these methods to solve problems in reading. The idea is for the students to continue to use these methods each time they read.
Reading Recovery students read many short books. Some of the books are written in a way similar to spoken language. Children also read and write stories or messages in their own words. The material gets harder with time.
The lessons end when the students’ reading ability is within the average level(平均水平) of the class. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says eighty percent of the students who finish the lessons can read and write within their class average. The leader of this program says more than ninety-nine percent of the Reading Recovery students in the schools passed the state reading examination.

As a young child, Wilma could not take part in sports. She had a series of serious illnesses, and then, at the age of 4, she got polio. She lost the use of her left leg, and the doctor said she would never walk again.
The people in Wilma’s family did everything they could to help her walk again. Wilma and her mother often traveled 100 miles to get treatments for her leg.
