Abstract: High-quality feedback is a powerful tool to support student learning with benefits for both those who receive and provide feedback. This study investigates the frequency and type of feedback fourth- and fifth-grade students used when delivering Sound Partners lessons to a younger peer. Results indicate that student tutors were successful in providing responsive academic and behavioral feedback for their younger tutee, with more than 850 instances of feedback identified across 58 audio recordings. The most common types of feedback tutors provided included praise and corrective academic feedback. [This is the online first version of an article published in "Elementary School Journal."]
