Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v21 n4 p252-58 Dec 1986

Five moderately mentally retarded peer tutors (ages 9-11) were taught sight words using a time delay procedure, and then were taught to use this procedure to teach the words to six younger, moderately mentally retarded children (ages 6-9). Younger children learned all five sight words in one to four sessions. (Author/JW)
