Revision of texts with word-processing
1Dipartimento di Scienze Umanistiche e Ant., Università di Sassari, Piazza Conte di Moriana No. 8, 07100 Sassari, Italy.
Abstract:
The aim of the research was to study the use of a word processor to improve writing and revising skill by 28 pairs of primary school children. Analysis confirmed greater difficulty in the drafting of texts than with traditional handwriting, but the increase in the number of words and errors does not imply improvement in lexical and orthographical aspects. The guided revision of texts on a word processor may support beginning writers' expression and, with increasing ease, allow them to use greater precision in the process of revision.
