Kent, Shawn C.; Wanzek, Jeanne – Review of Educational Research, 2016
Theories of writing development posit several component skills as necessary to the writing process. This meta-analysis synthesizes the literature on the correlation between these proposed component skills and writing outcomes. Specifically, in this study, we examine the bivariate relationships between handwriting fluency, spelling, reading, and…

This paper reports a quantitative study of 447 Australian…
