Intervention Summary
ClassWide Peer Tutoring (CWPT) is a program that targets general reading achievement. CWPT involves students working in pairs to tutor and test each other on reading material, with the goal of improving reading fluency and comprehension. The program can be implemented in any content area involving drill and memorization, such as spelling words, reading workbooks, and vocabulary words. Students are paired up and assigned to teams, and they take turns tutoring and testing each other, awarding points for correct answers. The team with the most points is recognized each week.

Data Sample by Population
These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.
The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
