In a cluster-randomized trial, we conducted a component analysis of the revised program by creating two versions of it.…

Nonresponders were identified using two…

This study of 67 intermediate grade students with reading difficulties found that students in a peer-mediated sustained reading condition performed better than peer-mediated repeated reading students and control students receiving typical reading instruction, on fluency but not on comprehension. No effect for the level of text difficulty was…
