Literacy Lessons: Designed for Individuals is a two-volume resource. Part One: focuses on the theory surrounding successful Reading Recovery programs, and how individual lessons for young children at risk can be highly successful. Part Two: is a training manual for practising teachers.

Literacy Lessons: Designed for Individuals features:

• the latest theory and research that has influenced contemporary teaching procedures
• analysis of implementations in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom including diverse cultural perspectives from English, Spanish and French classrooms
• an emphasis on oral language and teacher-child conversations
• exploration of phonemic awareness, knowledge of spelling, phrasing, fluency, speed of response and appropriate eye movements for written language
