This study was implemented to examine effects of a 'Horang-ee Sentence Writing Strategy' to the achievements of Korean language and the attribution tendency of the Elementary students with learning disabilities(LD). The subjects were three fourth graders with LD from an elementary school in 'C' city. It started on March 11th, 2008 and ended on November 27th, 2008 with 20 to 26 sessions.
The program applied was the 'Horang-ee Sentence Writing Strategy' by Youn Ock Kim and her colleagues(2004). The Strategy is composed of 13 units. The study employed the five stages to instruct the Strategy and a multiple-baseline across students to examine the effects of the Strategy instruction. This design can verify the effects of the 'Horang-ee Sentence Writing Straegy' to the achievement of Korean language and the attribution tendency of the elementary students with LD.
As the results, the subjects mastered the Strategy, and both abilities of Korean language and attribution tendency of students with LD were improved remarkably.
More systematic and objective researches related to the study are necessary successively. Furthermore, writing instructions is a necessity to expand to writing paragraphs and essays with developed strategies. Finally, providing training programs for connection studies is a necessity for parents and homeroom teachers for the following grade.
