Betsy, it worked great!
Parents attended each tutor session with their children as a part of their
parent time component. As reading recovery sessions are usually 12-16 weeks
in length - this time was considered their parent time for the duration of
the reading recovery sessions.
They met with the reading recovery teacher prior to the session to prepare
to support their child's learning for that session, then went to pickup
their child from his or her classroom, brought them to the reading recovery
session and worked together with the teacher to provide the content of the
session. Parents took their child back to class and met again with the
teacher for a debrief of the session and tips on how to support their child
with that nights transfer home materials.
The sessions met the needs of parent education, and the child's reading
needs.
Parents still had the PACT Time sessions to look forward to during the day -
but this provided a practical "tool" for helping parents support their
child's education.

Jon

Involving parents in Reading Recovery sounds wonderful.  At our school we
have involved adult educators in helping parents keep up with the parent
involvement component of Reading Recovery but we haven't invited parents
to actual RR tutoring sessions.  Is that what you did, Jon?  How exactly
did it work?
