WRETANZ is
the Reading Recovery Teachers Association of New Zealand -
Supporting Reading Recovery teachers and ensuring the
intervention’s profile is high.
Reading Recovery is the early literacy intervention for the lowest
achieving children after one year at school. Fifteen hundred full
and part time teachers currently deliver Reading Recovery in more
than two thirds of New Zealand schools.
WRETANZ was set up to further the provision of Reading Recovery and
to provide members with professional and collegial support; to work
for recognition of Reading Recovery training and get fair working
conditions for all Reading Recovery teachers. WRETANZ aims to gain
support for the intervention and raise its profile among teachers
and in the general community.
Recent activities:
• Organising the 25th anniversary function celebrating the
introduction of Reading Recovery into New Zealand schools.
• Preparing and presenting an additional claim for the current NZEI
contract agreement negotiations.
• Working with the Marie Clay Trust to consider assisting Reading
Recovery teachers with funding help when attending professional
meetings requiring travel.
• Travelling to other branches to assist with the formation of
local networks of Reading Recovery teachers.
