“…Computers have the potential to motivate reluctant writers to write; to facilitate the physical processes of writing, revising, and editing; and to result in the publication of neatly printed work (Cochran & Bull, 1991;MacArthur, 1993). Students like to use word processors (Bing, Swicegood, Delaney, & Hallum, 1993;Storeygard, Simmons, Stumpf, & Pavloglou, 1993); and Vacc (1987) found that students with mild intellectual impairments spent more time writing letters, wrote longer letters, and made more revisions in their writing when they used computers compared with writing by hand.…”

This article describes a research study comparing the effects of two computer-based writing tools on the story-writing skills of fourth-through eighth-grade students with language-related learning disabilities. The first tool, the prompted writing feature of FrEdWriter (Rogers, 1985), allowed students to answer story grammar questions, then type stories using those responses as the plan; the second tool, Once Upon a Time (Urban, Rushing, & Star, 1990), allowed students to create graphic scenes, then type stories about those scenes. Nine students attended a series of after-school writing labs twice weekly for 11 weeks, using each tool for half of the writing sessions. Group results did not clearly favor either tool; however, individual differences suggested that use of planning features should be linked to student needs. Students who had less internal organizational ability benefited from the computer-presented story grammar prompts and wrote less mature stories when using the graphics-based tool. Students with relatively strong organizational skills wrote more mature stories with the graphics-based tool.
