The purpose of this study was to investigate the writing achievement of elementary students at risk for writing disabilities. A total of 96 children(Grades 1∼6) of elementary students in the region of P-city were participated. In this sample, 41 children were identified as students at risk for writing disabilities and 55 children were identified as typical students. For the purpose, we examined and analyzed the writing fluency, spelling and composition. The results are as follows; First, the average scores of writing skills of elementary students at risk for writing disabilities were lower than typical students. Second, there were significant differences in all of writing skills among four groups. The post hoc comparisons indicated that the writing fluency performance of lower grade elementary students at risk was significantly lower than of upper grade students at risk and typical. And the writing fluency performance of upper grade elementary students at risk was significantly higher than that of lower grade typical students. The spelling performance of lower grade elementary students at risk was significantly lower than that of lower grade typical students, upper grade students at risk and typical. And the spelling performance of upper grade elementary students at risk was significantly lower than that of upper grade typical students. The composition performance of lower and upper grade elementary students at risk was significantly lower than that of lower and upper grade typical students. In conclusion, the results show that generally the writing abilities of elementary students at risk for writing disabilities is poorer than typical students.
