Analysis of Readability and Interest of Vocational Education Textbooks: Implications for Special Needs Learners.
Jones, Karen H.
Journal of Vocational Education Research, v20 n1 p55-77 1995
Six readability formulas (Flesch, Kincaid-Flesch, Dale-Chall, Gunning-Fog, Raygor, and Fog) were used to evaluate 260 vocational textbooks. The formulas were effective in discriminating ease or difficulty. Human interest scores, but not writing style, were a strong factor in identifying accessible texts for special populations. (SK)
