Summary

Originally published in 1994. The book gives teachers of 9 to 14 year olds an accessible account of how peer-tutoring can be organised to elevate reading performance of low-achieving readers - shared reading with partner; paired reading using 'reading together' and 'reading alone' techniques; and more rigorous 'pause, prompt and praise' techniques.
