The Development of Text Evaluation and Revision Skills.
Beal, Carole R.
Child Development, v61 n1 p247-58 Feb 1990
Fourth and sixth graders evaluated three types of problematic texts, suggested changes that would make the texts easier to understand, and judged whether four types of revisions improved the comprehensibility of problematic stories. Older children detected more text problems than younger children. Older and younger children did not differ in adequacy of revisions of problems. (RH)
