Abstract
In recent years there has been a greater willingness for schools to utilise the
availability of parents, para-professionals and peer tutors to assist developing
and struggling readers. As a consequence, a number of research studies have
focused on the many benefits of tutoring, and have also identified critical
elements that have contributed to successful home and school intervention
programs. This paper discusses the most recent findings on literacy tutoring
intervention practice and its application to the appropriate training of skilled
tutors.
