Neddenriep, Christine E.; Skinner, Christopher H.; Wallace, Monica A.; McCallum, Elizabeth – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2009
We conducted two experiments designed to investigate the effects of ClassWide Peer Tutoring (CWPT) on oral reading fluency and the generalization to students' rate and level of reading comprehension. First, an alternating treatment design was used to compare two sixth-grade, general education students' rates and level of oral reading comprehension…
