This research is an exploration of reading strategies aimed at maximizing achievement for struggling readers. Hispanic students were paired with non-Hispanic students over a period of time. The peer-tutoring experience resulted in students: -passing the state test -improving thinking and comprehension skills -increasing in vocabulary -improving in fluency -becoming more confident in other subjects -using reading strategies. The students shared cultural experiences and had fun learning together! At the end of the study, Tutor 3 states, 'Reading together helped me to help the little one learn more reading skills. It helped me do a lot better on my reading and math tests. I had a III in reading and math last year. This year I made a III in reading and a IV in math. I think it helped my tutee do better in her reading skills. I think she had learned more reading skills than her teacher taught her. She did not know what the word 'poultry' meant and I told her that that was chicken.' Reading is the foundation for academic success, therefore, I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in helping any child become a better reader!
