Writing Development from Grade 3 to 6 in Students with a History of Reading Difficulties
In this study, we explore writing development from Grade 3 to 6 in four groups of students with varying reading abilities measured in a screening in Grade 2 as follows: students with (1) poor word reading, (2) poor reading comprehension, (3) mixed difficulties, and (4) typical reading. The written texts were collected from the narrative writing assignments in the National Assessment Tests in Swedish (L1) in Grades 3 and 6. The texts were analysed…
Writing with Decoding and Spelling Difficulties—A Qualitative Perspective
Writers with decoding and/or spelling difficulties often produce short, lower-quality texts and experience less fluent writing, frequently interrupted by long pauses at the word level. Research suggests that from adolescence onward, such writers become increasingly aware of their difficulties, which influences behaviours such as avoiding difficult-to-spell words and pausing for lexical decisions. The objective of this study was to deepen the unde…
Getting a grip on the writing process
This study explored writing processes in two languages (L1-Swedish and L2-English) and in two text types (argumentative and narrative) of 158 upper-secondary students by analysing keystroke logging data. The main aim of this study was to identify effective writing processes of argumentative and narrative tasks in L1 and L2. First, results of the mixed effects model analysis showed that students' typical writing processes displayed differences in …
Tracing the longitudinal role of orthographic knowledge in spelling development from primary to upper‐secondary school
Background Phonological processing skills have been found to contribute to spelling development across different orthographies; however, less is known about the role of orthographic knowledge. This longitudinal study explores the contribution of phonological and orthographic knowledge to spelling development in a semi‐transparent orthography (Swedish) across a period of 10 years. Methods A group of Swedish speaking children were assessed on phono…
Object Shift in spoken Mainland Scandinavian
Recent work on Object Shift (OS) suggests that this is not as uniform an operation as traditionally assumed. In this paper, we examine OS in the spontaneous speech of adults in large Danish, Norwegian and Swedish child language corpora in order to explore variation with respect to OS across these three languages. We evaluate our results against three recent strands of accounts of OS, namely a prosodic/phonological account, an account in terms of …
Moving in small steps towards verb second
This paper examines rule-based learning and item-based learning in relation to a Swedish child's acquisition of verb second in main clauses. While rule-based accounts assert that young children have access to syntactic structure and acquire a rule of generalized verb second, item-based accounts claim that young children are reproducing frequent word combinations in the input. The paper provides new and important data from one Swedish child, concl…
