Six-Trait Writing Model Improves Scores at Jennie Wilson Elementary Journal of School Improvement

Fall/Winter 2000; Vol 1, Issue 2

By Deb Jarmer, Maurine Kozol, Sheri Nelson, Trudy Salsberry
"Anecdotal data is supported by more systematic research studies like the one conducted in 1992-1993 in Portland, Oregon (NWREL, 1992-1993). Six fifth-grade classrooms were selected to study the effect of teaching the six analytic traits to students. The classrooms represented diverse student populations (rural/urban, native/non-native English speakers, and a range of ethnicities). Three of the classrooms received traditional instruction while the other three were taught the six-trait method. The results from pre and post tests revealed large differences in writing performance between the two groups. "
