Beschreibung:
Peer tutoring allows a positive use of differences between pupils, turning them into learning opportunities. Yet busy practising and pre-service teachers often remain unfamiliar with research-based principles to guarantee the effectiveness of peer interaction to attain cognitive, socio-emotional and communicative goals. Using Peer Tutoring to Improve Reading Skills offers an evidence-based framework to help teachers understand the approach. Illustrated with models of successful practice from diverse schools across Europe, it provides easy-to-use guidelines for action, showing teachers in primary secondary schools how to enhance pupil motivation and improve reading standards.
