The SEER Readability Technique: How Practicable is It?

Duffelmeyer, Frederick A.

Reading World, v22 n2 p156-59 Dec 1982

Evaluates the practicability of the Singer Eyeball Estimate of Readability (SEER) techniques with 32 college students. Reveals that only two of the students met SEER's criterion for being considered acceptable judges. Concludes that the criterion is overly stringent and proposes a revised criterion designed to make the SEER technique more suitable. (FL)
