Talking on Paper: Dialogue as a Writing Task for Sixth Graders.

Andrews, Paul Easton; And Others

Journal of Experimental Education, v58 n2 p87-94 Win 1990

Dialogue writing samples from 54 sixth grade students in three classrooms were compared with standard narratives written by the same subjects. Results show that children wrote longer stories and enjoyed the sessions more when writing dialogue. Children's reading levels and academic motivation had no affect on this result. (TJH)
