Six classes of Spanish sixth-grade students (N=107, 11–12 years) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions. In allthree conditions students were taught to set communicative goals. Students in the Strategy Focused condition were then taught a 6-step revision strategy. Students in the Reader Focused condition observed a reader trying to comprehend a text andsuggesting ways in which it might be improved. Students in a control condition continued with goal-setting practice. Students’ writing performance was assessed through composition and revision tasks before and immediately after intervention,2 months post-intervention, and for transfer to an untaught genre. Writing performance and revision skills improved more in the two revision-instruction conditions than for students in the control condition. The improvements were large, persistentand transferred to a diferent type of text. We found no statistically signifcant diferences between the two revision conditions. Findings suggest that specifc revision instruction benefts sixth-grade students’ writing performance and revision skills, but that strategy-focused and reader-focused approaches are similarly efective PB Springer SN 0922-4777 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10612/13838 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10612/13838 NO p. 1741-1767 DS BULERIA.
