The studies in this monograph fall into two broad and overlapping areas of interest. The first is concerned with charting performance and development in writing skills in typical and in special populations. Topics covered include writing as discovery; linguistic development in writing; the writing of children with language impairments; unexpectedly good and poor spellers; and brain activation and idea generation. The second area is concerned directly with assessment, assistance and instruction in writing. Topics covered here range from drawing lessons from research for evidence based writing practice in the classroom; self-regulated strategy development in writing; the development of a new handwriting speed test; and the use of information technology in the classroom for struggling writers.
Taken together, these papers emphasize the complexity of the writing process and the various levels of analysis that can be used to inform practice; ranging from the purely biological through to meta-analytic techniques that illustrate which particular teaching interventions potentially have the most impact on writing development and why.
