Abstract(s)
In the present project we tested the hypothesis that tutorial situations with peers
would benefit children’s reading motivation. Participants were from elementary
school—80 fourth-graders and 80 second-graders.We used a questionnaire to assess
reading motivation. In the tutorial sessions we developed a Paired Reading
Program. The children who were to be tutored (second grade) were each paired
with a helper from the fourth grade. There were statistically significant results
favoring the children who participated in the reading program. They show significant
increments in the levels in the different domains of reading motivation,
for tutors and tutees.
