Reading Recovery is a scheme aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour sessions with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation reported that children on the scheme made 20 months' progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers who received no special help made just five months' progress.
