Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mavrogenes, Nancy A. – Reading Horizons, 1988
Investigates the readability level of written materials (such as notices or newsletters) sent by six all-day kindergartens/child-parent centers to parents of disadvantaged children. Found that the readability of the materials ranged from sixth grade to higher than college level, and that the mean level was midtenth grade. (ARH)
