Updated report on Peer-Assisted Learning/Literacy Strategies (PALS)

Updated report on Peer-Assisted Learning/Literacy Strategies (PALS) 

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) has posted an updated report on Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies (also known as Peer-Assisted Literacy Strategies) (PALS), peer-tutoring programs that supplement the primary reading curriculum. For the report, the WWC reviewed 45 studies that investigated the effects of PALS on beginning readers. Of these studies, three met the WWC's evidence standards(one of which met the standards with reservations). 
The three qualifying studies involved 3,130 beginning readers in kindergarten and first grade in four states. Based on these studies, the WWC found PALS to have potentially positive effects on alphabetics, no discernible effects on fluency, and mixed effects on comprehension for beginning readers.
