The present study investigates the writing process in Swedish of 17 multilingual children by focusing on temporal aspects such as pauses and the number of key strokes in relation to the final length of the text (i.e. the number of words and characters). By using the keystroke-log-ging software ScriptLog, the children’s writing process was thus related to the final product. 34 logging files taken from two different narratives written by 9-year-old children were used. Analyses showed inter- and intra-individual differences in their writing process but a clear correlation between text fluency and text lengths.
