Abstract

This study examines a partnership between a community non-profit organization and an urban school district in a metropolitan area to provide one to one summer reading tutoring by pairing teenagers tutors with elementary student tutees. The purposes of this mixed methods study are to analyze the reading progress of elementary student tutees in that program and to explore how elementary student tutees’ journaling contributed to that reading progress. Results indicated a significant, moderate effect of reading gains for these elementary students as a result of their participation.
