Getting help from peers can make up for individual attention the teacher wishes she could give but just cannot manage. And giving help also improves the young tutor's work.

This study looks at an RTLB working within classrooms in a cluster of schools, assisting teachers in implementing inclusive practices to increase social and co-operative interaction between Year 1 peers. The study explores whether the teaching of specific social and co-operative skills, with practice opportunities across the curriculum, increases this type of interaction between peers within a Year 1 classroom.
