- Abstract
This paper describes the deployment of the technique for non-professional tutoring of reading known as ‘paired reading’ on a large scale in the Kirklees Local Education Authority. From the very large amount of data generated in multi-site field trials, particular attention is focused on the relationship between supportive home visiting (if any), an index of the socio-economic disadvantage of the catchment area of each participating school, and outcomes in terms of gains on norm-referenced tests of reading. Some surprising conclusions emerge.
