Reading Recovery

Reading Recovery is an extensively researched program. It takes the bottom 20% of struggling first grade readers and provides them with one-on-one instruction for 30 minutes a day with a highly-trained teacher. After 12 to 20 weeks of prescriptive instruction, children return to the classroom reading at or above grade level. Reading Recovery is not a program in a box, with a one size fits all curriculum; it is an investment in the continuing staff development of primary teachers. The program was developed in New Zealand by Marie Clay and has been implemented all over the United States. The national clearinghouse of “What Works in Reading” compared all the top reading programs and found Reading Recovery to be the only program to excel in all four areas of reading, I became trained in Reading Recovery after I had been teaching for 15 years. Never has a training had such an impact on me as a teacher. For the first time in my teaching career, I felt I had the knowledge necessary to teach any child to read. For the first time I realized it is me, not the child, who is accountable. If a child does not learn, it is my fault. After 16 years of training in Reading Recovery, I am still learning every day.
About Me

About Me

My name is Molly Jan Weger. I was born and raised in Bells, Texas. I graduated from S.O.S.U. in Durant, Oklahoma. My husband, Mike, and I live on a small ranch north of Bells. We have three children and three precious grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my family, church activities, and reading. I am from a family of teachers. I have known since third grade, I wanted to be a teacher. I have had the privilege of teaching in Savoy for 35 years and have loved every minute of it. I am proud to have had my three children graduate from this school, knowing their emotional, social, and academic needs were met by caring and dedicated teachers. I have taught in sixth, fifth, first, and second grade. I also teach Reading Recovery. I am presently teaching a pull-out accelerated reading and math program for 1st through 6th grade, and am on the district Customer Care team. I consider my most important educational contribution to be helping to write a grant, becoming trained, and establishing the Reading Recovery program at Savoy. To be a part of this program a district must be committed to provide the resources necessary to teach every first grader to read. Savoy is that kind of school district. I feel fortunate to teach at a school where the board, administration, teachers/staff, and community truly believe "Every kid, Every day, Whatever it takes."
