Abstract | This article describes elaboration in "literary letters" (Atwell, 1984, 1987) written by developmental reading students. Nineteen community college students received instruction in "elaborative thought patterns," or types of elaboration, to improve the quality of their responses to popular fiction. This instruction was part of a literature-based component intended to foster positive changes in comprehension and attitude toward reading. Data were derived from (a) letters analyzed according to a coding system, (b) questionnaires, (c) focus-group discussions, and (d) self-evaluations. Students demonstrated improvements in quality of elaboration; they also reported positive changes in comprehension, writing, literature discussions, self-efficacy, and attitude. (Contains 1 table.)
