This study investigated the presence of dialogical refl exivity indicators in compositions (written texts) and established possible links between those indicators and narrative structures. A group of 23 children, between eight and ten years old, wrote two compositions on the themes "Tell your story" and "How do I talk to myself?". The results suggest that the dialogicality of refl ective processes is involved in the writing expression: whereas. The fi rst theme of compositions presented dialogues between the characters (dialogical structure), the second one presented self-talk (direct description of refl ective action). In conclusion, it is discussed the relationship between dialogical refl exivity indicators in written texts and the role of the author's refl ective process about what he/she writes as the basis for dialogicality.
