Role of Mechanics in Composing of Elementary School Students: A New Methodological Approach.
Graham, Steve; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v89 n1 p170-82 Mar 1997
Multiple-group structural equation modeling was used to analyze structural relationships between latent factors underlying measures of handwriting, spelling, and composing for students in grades one through six. Results with 300 children show that the mechanical skills of writing may constrain the amount and quality of composing. (SLD)
