Spanish Readability Formulas for Elementary-Level Texts: A Validation Study.
Parker, Richard I.; Hasbrouck, Jan E.; Weaver, Laurie
Reading and Writing Quarterly: Overcoming Learning Difficulties, v17 n4 p307-22 Oct 2001
Uses two formulas developed for Spanish language text to analyze 9 stories that were read by 36 Spanish-speaking second graders with limited English proficiency. Finds that the Spanish readability formulas only weakly predicted student performance, indicating the need to pursue broader, qualitative indices of difficulty for Spanish text. (SG)
