Contributions of Developmental Psychology to Understanding Revision: Implications for Consultation with Classroom Teachers.

Beal, Carole R.

School Psychology Review, v22 n4 p643-55 1993

Reviews research analyzing nature of typical elementary-age children's difficulties with revision process. Notes that studies in which children review prepared texts containing embedded errors have revealed that children tend to overestimate their own and others' comprehension of text, and thus, they do not identify specific areas of text that could benefit from revision.
