Ten easy-to-read books were examined for readability using Fry's Readability Graph and Betts' criteria for oral reading performance. Five first-grade and second-grade children read selected passages from each of the ten books. A correlation of 0.73 was obtained between rank orders according to readability graph scores and according to oral reading errors. Results from the oral reading indicated that 80 percent of the books sampled were at the frustrational level for readers in this study. (Author/AA)
