Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is a method designed to improve abilities in copying with complex tasks. SRSD uses modelling, self-instruction, guided practice and other resources that facilitate the focused task. We tested the efficiency of a SRSD intervention constructed for improving argumentative text writing. A Spanish Language teacher conducted the intervention for fifty-one 4th grade elementary school students. Those students were compared to a group of 26 students who continued with their ordinary class activities. We evaluated both written texts which were done before and after the intervention. We assessed the teachers score, length, lexical richness and text content. The students who were involved in the SRSD program improved significantly in all the assessed variables, however the students in the control group only improved in the number of written sentences, verbs and words.
