(Entrance Letter into Reading Recovery Program)
Allow me to introduce myself
to you. My name is Donna Bello
and I would love to help your child learn how to read. I am a trained reading specialist. Your child has been tested and chosen to take
part in our program this year. Based on
the results of both the observation and the test, your child qualifies to
receive instruction in our Reading Recovery program.
Reading
Recovery is an intense reading
program particularly tailored for first grade students. Your child will receive one on one
instruction every day for 30 minutes for a maximum of twenty
weeks. During this period of time it is
of utmost importance that absences be kept to a minimum. Unnecessary absences will result in lost
instruction time. John will also be
bringing home books to be read and cut up sentences to be practiced and put in
order. Please work with your child on a
daily basis and be sure that their
As
John’s parent you are invited to observe your child during a lesson, so you can
witness first hand the style and nature of the intense instruction. This observation may be scheduled at your
convenience.
Please
sign the bottom of this letter and return it as soon as possible.
If
you have any questions, please call me at (201) 945-9340 and I will be
happy to speak to you or set up an appointment.
Thank
you in advance for your cooperation and I look forward to working with you
during one of the most important steps in your child’s life.
Yours truly,
