Elbaum, Batya; Vaughn, Sharon; Hughes, Marie Tejero; Moody, Sally Watson
Journal of Educational Psychology, v92 n4 p605-19 Dec 2000
Conducts a meta-analysis of supplemental, adult-instructed one-to-one reading interventions for elementary students (N=1,539) at risk for reading failure. Results indicate that interventions using trained volunteers or college students were highly effective. Studies comparing one-to-one with small-group supplemental instruction showed no advantage for the one-to-one programs. (Contains 76 references and 3 tables.) (Author/GCP)
