Peer Tutoring with the Learning Disabled: A Critical Review.

Byrd, Donna E.

Journal of Educational Research, v84 n2 p115-18 Nov-Dec 1990

Three review articles, six essays, and nine empirical studies on peer tutoring were assessed. Mainstreamed or integrated classrooms were found to be ideal locations for peer tutoring, providing support for the integration process, positive effects on self-esteem and achievement, aid in classroom management, and a reinforcing system for learning.
