In the Tutoring for All project, we aimed to develop the prototype of a tutoring programme to improve reading skills of primary school children. For this purpose, we prepared the adaptation of the tried and tested Tutoring with the Lightning Squad programme of the Success for All Foundation for use in German language. The system should be simple, quick and inexpensive to implement in order to facilitate adoption in a large number of schools nationwide.

The project was supported by the ExStra Fund of the University of Hamburg.  Based on its results, the nonprofit-organisation Tutoring for All gUG is now working to disseminate the programme. You can follow the further development at www.tutoringforall.de.
