Library-based adult literacy programs rely on volunteers to provide tutoring services to adult learners. A high percentage of volunteer tutors are matched with a reading-disabled adult literacy learner. Although all tutors are required to complete preservice tutor training, there is a limited amount of research that documents whether they utilize what they learn in this training. The current study observed three tutor/learner pairs and found that the tutors did utilize what they learned in tutor training and that these strategies were effective. However, the tutors did not feel prepared when they began their tutoring sessions. (Contains 1 table.)
