Making Texts More Readable.
Currie, Helen
British Journal of Special Education, v17 n4 p137-39 Dec 1990
Special needs teachers and subject teachers simplified text in British secondary level science and humanities courses and used the text with a class of mixed attainment groups. Subsequent assessment indicated that marks of higher achievers were consistently high and marks of low achievers were significantly improved compared to a control group. (JDD)
