Assessing Validity of Fry's Readability Formula and Implications for English Reading Teaching

In response to the task of selecting and providing appropriate materials, the past decades have seen numerous attempts to develop and improve ways and devices to estimate readability of texts. Readability of a particular article can indicate the easiness or difficulty of it and therefore direct teachers' selection of materials predict how learners will understand the materials to some extent. Two preliminary-scale experiments prove that Fry's Graph is comparatively more accurate in estimating the present teaching materials.
