This exploratory study examined the authors' utilization of two service-learning tutoring programs with preservice teachers (PSTs). The PSTs were assigned to either Tutor-Assisted Intensive Learning Strategies (TAILS) or Book Partners (BP) tutoring program and taught one of the tutoring programs with identified kindergarten or first-grade struggling readers. The findings reveal that the TAILS journals were more informative, included very specific social skills details. TAILS journals reported twice as many classroom social behaviors when compared to the BP journals.
