A controller of a non-volatile memory manages each of multiple disjoint sets of physical pages as a respective page group. The controller mitigates errors by repetitively performing background mitigation reads of each of the plurality of blocks including, in order, performing a background mitigation read of a first physical page in a first page group in a first block; prior to again performing a background mitigation read in the first block, performing a background mitigation read of a first physical page in a first page group in each other of the plurality of blocks; performing a background mitigation read of a first physical page in a second page group in the first block; and prior to again performing a background mitigation read in the first block, performing a background mitigation read of a first physical page in a second page group in each other of the plurality of blocks.
