AB -  Several cognitive psychologists have proposed that people use story schemata to guide comprehension and recall. Using Stein and Glenn's (1979) story grammar, the story recall abilities of severely disabled readers were tested. With the stories and procedures developed by Stein and Glenn, there were few differences between normal and disabled reader groups in the recall of story grammar units. A second scoring scheme was devised to explore other sources of skill difference in the story recall of normal and disabled readers. This system revealed highly significant differences between the groups in the ability to recall fine details, in the use of connective words that signal temporal and causal relationships, and in the type of text‐based inferences made. The results are discussed in light of the need for considering multiple processing levels and as indicating that story grammars may be of limited diagnostic utility.
