The Effect of Goal Constraints on the Writing Performance of Urban Learning Disabled Students.

Isaacson, Stephen; Mattoon, Cynthia Burt

Learning Disabilities Research, v5 n2 p94-99 Spr 1990

Forty-two inner city intermediate-grade learning-disabled students wrote fables when provided with the following stimuli: story starter, story ending with story content, and story ending with rhetorical purpose. The story ending groups did more story development planning than the story starter group, but composition quality was not significantly different. (JDD)
