Although there is evidence that literacy deficiencies in adolescents can be remedied with one‐to‐one tutoring using research‐based instructional strategies, a review of current literature provides only limited information on transferring effective instructional strategies to learning environments outside of one‐to‐one tutoring centers. The authors of this article identify three components of successful one‐to‐one literacy tutoring programs, discuss what research reveals regarding one‐to‐one literacy instruction with adolescents, and provide commentary on how the instruction used in their reading clinic can be replicated for those attempting to apply one‐to‐one literacy instruction inside a tutoring center, resource room, or traditional classroom setting.
