Increasing and Evaluating the Readability of Air Force Written Materials.
Abstract
The report describes how to apply techniques that have been used in measuring the readability/comprehensibility and reading level of textual materials. Instructions are provided, in a step-by-step fashion, for determining the reading level of written material and for presenting subject matter material through methods other than prose. In addition, procedures for simplifying written material are presented. Experimental procedures, to be used in determining the effectiveness of written material, are described. Finally, multisensory presentation of Air Force training material is examined. (Author)
