ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to determine factors affecting text difficulty and to model objective formulas which measure readability scores. Some reada total number of letters, total number of syllables, total numbe r of unique syllables, total number of sentences and total number of paragraphs were found through regression equations with these factors as their variables were produced through regression analysis. A model estimating rea dability score from total numbe r of unique syllables was a nique syllables and new syllable occurrence ratio, was a better enhanced one. The readability sc ore represents detailed level so we can recomend students read texts corresponding to their reading levels.
