Reading Recovery in Canada
The Reading Recovery Network in Canada

schools, districts, and regional institutes.
The Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery

operations of Reading Recovery in Canada, including training and
supporting training, and upholding the Standards and Guidelines.
Regional Institutes
Three regional institutes oversee the work in teacher training centres and schools. These include the Western Canadian Institute of
Reading Recovery, the Central Canadian Institute of Reading

History
First introduced in the provinces of Ontario and Nova Scotia in
l987, Reading Recovery quickly expanded across Canada and today is
implemented in boards/districts in Alberta, British Columbia,
Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Ontario, Prince
Edward Island, and Yukon Territory. Read more in a
brief history of
Reading Recovery in Canada.
Development of Reading Recovery in French
Canadian trainers, with the help of Marie Clay, redeveloped
Reading
Recovery in French in order to serve Canada’s French-speaking
children and teachers. An Observation Survey of Early Literacy
Achievement was translated into Le sondage d’observation en lecture-écriture
(Clay, 2003). Lessons are offered under the name Intervention
préventive en lecture-écriture.
Standards and Guidelines for Reading Recovery in Canada
Standards and Guidelines are essential to ensure the quality of
services and successful results for children and schools.
Data
More than 100,000 children have been served in Reading Recovery in
Canada. See the 2005–2006 Executive Data Summary.
Conferences
Conferences and regional institutes offer opportunities for
professional development in Reading Recovery.
Marie M. Clay Canadian Memorial Fund
Canada has established a
Marie M. Clay Canadian Memorial Fund to
help ensure CIRR’s mission that any child who needs the support of
Reading Recovery in Canada will have access to it.
