Abstract
The Online Intergenerational Tutoring Program addresses a service delivery gap in schools because older adult volunteers expand schools’ capacity to implement evidence-based instruction with students in need of individual support. Tutoring includes dialogic reading with digital books and Tutoring Buddy, a web-based program used to improve children’s letter sound fluency. Developed during the school closures resulting from COVID-19, the program uses online technology to deliver individual instruction to students after school. Our preliminary research found online intergenerational tutoring is a promising, socially valid model for addressing students’ learning loss resulting from the pandemic.
