Brodney, Bruce; Reeves, Carolyn; Kazelskis, Richard

Journal of Experimental Education, v68 n1 p5-20 Fall 1999

Studied the influence of 4 different prewriting treatments on the quality of written discourse produced by fifth graders (96 in all) compared with writings of 24 students without prewriting instructions. Reading paired with prewriting before composing was found to be the most effective prewriting instructional strategy. (SLD)
