This study investigated the effectiveness of a cross-age (25 high school tutors and 6 elementary aged tutees) 6-week tutoring program. Findings indicated that all tutees acquired new sight vocabulary words after tutoring, were able to read the words in sentences, and maintained the learning four months later. (DB)
