Peer reviewedNorris, Janet A.; Bruning, Roger H. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1988
High- and low-achieving readers in kindergarten and first-grade were evaluated for differences in the use of decontextualized language. The cohesion present in stories retold by the 150 subjects was evaluated for unity and coherence. Results indicated that low achievers in reading exhibited less cohesion in their use of decontextualized language.…
