Few intellectual tools exist for characterizing word choice development in primary
level writing. The aim of this study was to identify categories for describing the
development of word choice in young children’s narrative writings. Such categories
may be used to demonstrate how word choice develops within writing practices of
primary classrooms. The analysis was based on thirty texts from six students
studying Norwegian as a first-language and collected from mid-year second grade
through fourth grade utilizing case-study methodology. In the students’ classroom,
considerable emphasis was put on using literature to establish an intertextual basis
for student learning. The students’ texts were scored by a group of teachers using a
rubric specifically designed for word choice to analyze verbs and adjectives, lexical
individuality, and lexical diversity, as additions to the more traditional word counts.
These categories were discussed, and many were found fruitful for tracing
intertextual understandings and describing word choice development. However, the
category of lexical individuality may be too conservatively defined to capture
important developments among this age group.
