Compostion Errors of Second-Grade Children's Directed and Undirected Themes

Marion Cotter O'Brien, Fordham University

Abstract

One of the chief approaches in the field of curriculum making, particularly in the field of language and composition, is the error technique. The purpose of such an approach is to discover the important, persistent mistakes made in a basic area or activity, such as written language, in order that these errors may be considered in planning learning activities for children. Many error studies in language have been summarized by Lyman. Kremer made an important study of errors of sixth-grade children's letters. Geoghegan's study of fifth-grade children's composition and letter-form errors presented for curriculum builders the important language and composition mistakes at that level in letter writing.
