description Seven fables were read to 14 average learners and 14 children with learning disabilities, all of whom ranged in age from 10 to 13 years. They were presented with four possible moral choices: one correct, one related, and two incorrect. They were instructed to select the correct moral choice and were asked to explain their choice. The average learners' ability to select the correct moral was significantly better than that of the children with learning disabilities. In addition, even when they chose correct morals, the children with learning disabilities were less capable of explaining their choice.
