The procedures of manipulating consequent events were applied to the problems of teaching composition in a fifth‐grade remedial classroom. Three objective aspects of composition, total number of words, number of different words, and number of new words, were selected for manipulation and reinforcement contingencies were sequentially applied to these components. The writing output of all subjects was greatly increased.
