Crook, Nancy M.
Journal of Social Studies Research, 1, 2, 53-9, Sum 77
The purpose of this study was to test the validity of the Fry Readability Graph on an eighth grade social studies textbook. It was found to be a valid measure by using an achievement test, and by comparing between groups of students who should and should not have comprehended the test.
