Who's Afraid of Readability Scales? Selecting High School Science Texts.
Kennedy, Keith

After discussing the ease of using the Fry Readability Graph, the author applies it to biology, chemistry, and physics texts, and lists the results. He warns that textbook authors and classroom teachers should be aware of the potential impact that the reading level of a text can have on students. (KC)
