Abstract
The written language characteristics of 26 learning disabled (LD), 26 low-achieving (LA) and 26 achieving (ACH) students in grades 7 through 10 were measured using paragraph-writing and topic-sentence tasks. findings indicated that only spelling discriminates LD--students from the pool of low-achieving students demonstrating average intellectual functioning. Results further disclosed that LD students differ from achieving students on four formal features of written language.
