A quasi – experimental design was employed in the study including two groups. Seventy-eight (78) male, and female sixth graders at Omar El-Deeb institute in Al – Badary were separated evenly into two groups (experimental and control). The experimental group (n = 39) studied using the Peer- Tutoring Strategy, whereas the Control group (n = 39) studied in the commonly used the lecture way. The instruments of the study included multiple choice, correcting, rearranging, and writing sentences Test. Results Showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the Control group in the post administration of the test in favor of the experimental group.
