This study examined the effects of an experimentally derived, peer‐delivered reading intervention on the oral reading fluency of a first‐grade student who had been referred for poor reading fluency. Same‐grade peers were trained to lead the target student through a structured intervention protocol based on the results of a brief experimental analysis. Results indicated that reading improvements were obtained and are discussed in terms of selecting efficient interventions for use by peers.
