Story Composition Skills of Middle-Grade Students with Learning Disabilities.
Vallecorsa, Ada L.; Garriss, Elizabeth
Exceptional Children, v57 n1 p48-54 Sep 1990
This study of the story composition abilities of 46 students (aged 11-14) with learning disabilities found that subjects had a rudimentary knowledge of story form, but this knowledge was less developed than that of their nondisabled peers. Subjects also had greater coherence problems in their writing and were less fluent writers. (Author/JDD)
