Using Art Media during Prewriting: Helping Students with Dysgraphia Manage Idea Generation before Encoding Text
Dunn, Michael
Exceptionality, v21 n4 p224-237 2013
Many students struggle with writing skills. This study focuses on three students (second and fourth grades) who were classified with a learning disability by their school. These children had writing goals and objectives (i.e., characteristics of having dysgraphia) included in their Individual Education Plan. In a single case design format, each student was taught the Ask, Reflect, Text (ART) mnemonic strategy to help improve story content and quality. The components of ART include students "Ask" themselves a series of seven questions; the students then "Reflect" on their answers and illustrate their story-content responses with art media (e.g., paints, colored markers, play dough); and from this prewrite illustration, students generate their "Text." All participants improved greatly in story content. They also improved in story quality but to a lesser extent.
