Abstract

Most of the studies in biliterate children with Learning disability have mainly concentrated on reading, whereas little attention has been given to studying correlates for written language development. Thus the objectives of the present study were to investigate and compare written productivity in Kannada-English biliterate children with Learning Disability in each of their two languages. The participants of the study included fteen emerging biliterate children with Learning Disability in the fourth grade and thirty age and language matched typically developing children.
