Abstract

A single case ABAB experimental design was used to evaluate a modified peer tutoring spelling game to increase the spelling performance of 4 fifth-grade students who were poor spellers. The result indicated that the spelling performance increased on weekly tests when the spelling game was in effect. Also, the students reported that they favored peer tutoring for spelling instruction over the traditional method. Benefits of the peer tutoring spelling game such as friendly competition, ease of implementation, etc. were discussed.
