Effectiveness of Peer Tutors vs. Resource Teachers.
Russell, Tommy; Ford, Dorothy F.
Psychology in the Schools, v20 n4 p436-41 Oct 1983
Examined whether 16 mildly handicapped students working with tutors would show a greater academic gain than would students in a small group working with the resource teacher. Using a pretest-posttest control design it was found that after three months, students who had tutors showed a more significant gain in reading. (JAC)
