Measuring Readability Using DRP Units.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carver, Ronald P. – Journal of Reading Behavior, 1985
Rescales DRP-Difficulty (Degrees of Reading Power) into grade equivalent (GE) units using the estimated difficulty level values obtained from the Rauding Scale. Finds the revised scale is accurate to within one graded level for lower grade materials and to within two grade levels for upper grade materials. (MM)
