Peer reviewedFerreiro, Emilia; Pontecorvo, Clotilde – Learning and Instruction, 1999
Studied the use of punctuation in children's early writings in connection with organization of the text. Collected 134 stories of second graders written in Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian. Children tried to make sense of writing conventions, including the use of punctuation, and some tried to distinguish the functions of punctuation marks. (SLD)
