The Conversational Performance of Low Achieving and Normally Achieving Third Grade Children

Abstract

dc:description

The purpose of this study was to examine the structure and content of children's conversation and to investigate the relation between academic achievement, social status, and topic performance. Thirty children participated in the study; ten were identified by their classroom teacher as low-achieving students and twenty were considered to be normally achieving students. Subjects were selected from three regular education third grade classrooms within the same school. The children were from a predominantly working class community.
