A Preliminary Study of Syntax in the Written Expression of Learning Disabled Children

Peggy L. Anderson, PhD

Peggy L. Anderson has been a graduate teaching assistant and PhD candidate at the School of Education at the University of Denver. She is now with the clinical research department of JFK Institute at Johns Hopkins University. Address: Peggy L. Anderson, Clinical Research, Room 121, JFK Institute, Johns Hopkins University, 707 N. Broadway. Baltimore, MD 21205.

Syntax in the written expression of five normal and five learning disabled fourth graders was assessed. Samples of written language were scored using the method prescribed for obtaining a syntax quotient in the Picture Story Language Test (Myklebust 1965). The syntax of the LD group was found to be significantly deficient when compared to that of the normal group. Previous research has documented the syntactical deficiencies in the oral language of LD children. The findings of this report suggest that syntax problems also are likely to be found in the written language of these children.
