Improving Learning Disabled Students' Skills at Composing Essays: Self-Instructional Strategy Training.
Graham, Steve; Harris, Karen R.
Exceptional Children, v56 n3 p201-14 Nov 1989
The study with three sixth-grade learning-disabled students found that a self-instructional strategy to facilitate the generation, framing, and planning of argumentative essays had a positive effect on the students' writing performance and self-efficacy. Effects were maintained over time and transferred to a new setting and new writing genre. (Author/DB)
