Investigating the effect of sentence-combining practice on the syntactic maturity of written compositions and on reading comprehension, this study involved assignment of seventh grade students to control and experimental groups. Analysis was based on the experimental group's completion of 26 sentence-combining problems (O'Hare's format with some modification) over a 16-week period. (JC)
