Peer reviewedShymansky, James A.; Yore, Larry D. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
Using the Fry Readability approach and a ten percent random sample of all reading materials from each grade level within a program, readability data were collected on six popular elementary science textbook series. Fry readability averages and ranges for the six programs surveyed are reported by grade level. (Author/MK)
