Three Types of Peer Tutoring: Effects on the Attitudes of Students with Learning Disabilities and Their Regular Class Peers.

Eiserman, William D.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v21 n4 p249-52 Apr 1988

The effects of three types of tutoring treatments on the attitudes of learning-disabled and control students (n=124) in grades K-6 were compared. The tutoring programs, involving sign language and reading, produced beneficial effects on attitudes about peers, school, and learning, whereas control students did not experience comparable gains.
