THE PURPOSES OF THIS RESEARCH ARE AS FOLLOWS : (1) DEVELOPMENTAL STUDY OF EXPOSITORY WRITING SKILLS FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN,AND (2) EXAMINING THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE WRITING SKILLS FOR COMPREHENSIBLE EXPOSITORY TEXTS.
(1) SUBJECTS WERE 173 CHILDREN FROM GRADE 1 TO 6. THE TASKS WERE WRITING OF EXPOSITORY TEXT AND REVISING THE TEXT OF THEMSELVES.THESE CORRECTED TEXTS WERE ANALYSED IN TERMS OF REVISING TYPE,NAMELY,CORRECTING WORD MEANING,CORRECTING OHRASES,ACCRETION OF SENTENCES,AND REVISING WHOLE TEXT STRUCTURE BY RE-ORDERING EACH PARAGRAPHS.THOUGH TYPES OF REVISION FROM GRADE 1 TO 4 WERE RESTRICTED ONLY WORD MEANING,SOME OF GRADE 5 TO 6 CHILDLEN WERE REVISED THE MEANING OF PHRASES.

HALF OF STUDENTS WERE EXPERIENCED IN TENNIS GAMES (E-GROUP) AND THE OTHER STUDENTS WERE NOVICE (N-GROUP). E-GROUP STUDENTS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS FROM ANOTHER NOVICE ABOUT CONTENTS OF THE TEXTS WRITTEN BY THEMSELVES.THEN,THEY REWROTE TEXTS.AFTER SECOND WRITING SESSION,ANOTHER 20 STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO EVALUATE COMPREHENSIBILITY OF WHOLE 42 TEXTS.
RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS : E-GROUP'S FIRST WRITINGS WERE LUCK OF SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR PLAYING TENNIS,AND LEVELS OF COMPREHENSIBILITY WERE LOWER THAN N-GROUP.BUT E-GROUP'S SECOND WRITINGS WERE IMPROVED IN RESPECTS OF IMPORTANT RULES AND COMPREHENSIBILITY.ALL THESE RESULTS MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE EXPERIENCES TO KNOW LEVELS OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT READERS WERE EFFECTIVE WAY TO IMPROVE WRITERS' SKILL.
