Description
Written expression is essential for success in school and in the workplace; however, it is currently not being adequately taught in the American educational system. To gain a better understanding of the state of the written expression literature in top school psychology journals, researchers systematically coded and analyzed articles published from 1994–2020 for assessment, intervention, and general knowledge trends. Discussion focuses on the implications of findings, specifically the need for future written expression intervention research.
