Maddux, Cleborne D.; Candler, Ann C.
Diagnostique, v9 n4 p232-38 Sum 1984
Ten textbooks on psychological and educational assessment in special education were analyzed with the Flesch formula for reading ease and interest. Reading levels were surprisingly low, human interest scores of eight of the books were classified as "dull," and great disparity was found in the topics treated by the various authors. (Author/CL)
