Summarizing Stories: The Role of Instruction in Text Structure in Learning to Write.

Akamatsu, C. Tane

American Annals of the Deaf, v133 n4 p294-302 Oct 1988

Two hearing-impaired students, aged 11 and 12, with differing American Sign Language and English-language skills, participated in a program which instructed them in summarization skills based on a knowledge of story structure. Subjects' knowledge of story structure rose dramatically, and the performance level was maintained in one subject. (Author/JDD)
