Weaver, Phyllis A.; Dickinson, David K.

Discourse Processes, v5 n3-4 p225-43 Jul-Dec 1982

Examines the story recall of normal and dyslexic readers in relation to story grammar categories and suggests that dyslexic students do not have significant deficiencies in use of such categories. Discusses the results in light of the need for considering multiple processing levels and as indicating that story grammars may be of limited diagnostic utility. (FL)
