Abstract
As part of a longitudinal study of the development of literacy skills, seven-year-old children wrote and told stories previously read to them. This partial replication of Geva & Olson (1983) examined the charac teristics of story rewriting by hand and by computer, as well as oral story retelling, and their relationships with reading comprehension. The productions of these second graders were comparable to Geva & Olson's six-year-olds' story retelling in use of language forms, reflect ing knowledge of story schemata, and an awareness of the formal characteristics of narrative conventions. The children in this within- subjects design demonstrated few significant psycholinguistic differ ences between production media, in spite of their voiced preference for word-processing activities. Relationships were revealed between reading comprehension and story rewriting and retelling.
