- Parent Satisfaction with Reading Recovery. Bounds, Sharon Lynn Early Intervention Inner City Parent Attitudes Parent Participation Parent Student Relationship Primary Education Program Effectiveness Questionnaires Reading Research Remedial Reading A study examined the level of satisfaction experienced by parents whose children participated in the first year of the Reading Recovery program at Hazelwood Elementary School (a large inner-city school in the southeastern United States) during the 1995-96 school year. Interviews were conducted with 19 parents (out of a total of 31 parents) and 11 parents completed questionnaires. Results indicated that parents (1) felt their children had been helped by the program; (2) reported that Reading Recovery homework was always or almost always completed at home; (3) provided their children with trade books and other reading materials; (4) for the most part, said they did not take their children to the library, although many planned to do so in the future; (5) reported they were reading more with their children; (6) were able to evaluate their child's reading progress; (7) reported that their children performed better in school, exhibited improved discipline, and/or felt better about themselves; (8) would recommend the Reading Recovery program to friends or neighbors; (9) reported that both they and their children liked the Reading Recovery teacher; and (10) reported that, prior to entry into the program, they had tried unsuccessfully to help their child improve his or her reading skills. Recommendations include: Reading Recovery is successful and should be continued at the school; the program should be expanded; follow-up studies on parents and children should be conducted; and the other Reading Recovery sites in the school system should be examined.
