The purpose of this investigation was to assess implementation aspects of a peer-delivered Corrective Reading Program (CRP), entitled "Project PALS" (Peer Assisted Learning System), in six area high schools. Specifically, high schools provided details on the following aspects of their programs: school and teachers, students receiving peer instruction, peer instructors, assessments, and funding. Across all schools, 167 peer instructors provided one-on-one instruction to 255 students in need of reading remediation. Of those students in the CRP, 87% received one-on-one instruction. Of the tutors who participated in Project PALS, eight students began the program as students. The majority (77%) of the peer instructors received college credit for their participation in the CRP. Implications for future research are discussed.
