| Summary |
"The book details specific structured methods for improving quality and effectiveness in parent, peer and volunteer tutoring. The methods cover reading, thinking, writing and spelling. They are solidly based on decades of work in hundreds of schools with thousands of children, and a mass of research evidence." "These practical methods are designed so all can benefit, including tutors as well as tutees, irrespective of age and ability. They are inexpensive to use; require no special materials or complex technology; are flexible and durable in a wide range of settings; and are compatible with professional instruction of almost any type." -- Book jacket |
