Assesses the impact of using the structure strategy as a base for an intergenerational Internet tutoring program in which older adults provided Internet-based tutoring for 5th-grade students. Both tutors and children in the structure strategy group with tutors increased strategy use, total and main idea recall, and self-efficacy. Findings have implications for learning from computers, intergenerational tutoring, and reading instruction. (Contains 54 references, 12 tables, and 3 appendixes.) (GCP)
