What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Peer reviewedFox, Barbara; Siedow, Mary – Clearing House, 1980
High school students were tested on their ability to follow directions written by content area teachers. Poor readers understood the directions only about half the time, which probably confounds their performance on classroom tests and assignments. Ways that teachers can make their instructions easier to read are suggested. (SJL)
