Community-Based Early Reading Intervention for At-Risk First Graders.

Vadasy, Patricia F.; And Others

Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, v12 n1 p29-39 1997

A study of 17 first-graders identified at high risk for a reading disability investigated the effects of community tutors on reading performance. When compared to the performance of matched controls, the children performed better on spelling and segmentation but not on reading. Skills declined at the second-grade follow-up evaluation. (CR)
