What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Peer reviewedGiordano, Gerard – Clearing House, 1987
Offers an analogy between passing a written driving test and actually driving a vehicle, and evaluating textbooks by the number of syllables in words and by sentence length and the students' ability to actually read the textbook. Provides an open textbook inventory to evaluate how well students interact with the book. (JC)
