The Degree of Readability of Seventh Basic Grade Book "Our
Arabic Language" in Jordan and its Relation to some Variables
Dr. Sami M. Hazaimeh
Al Bayt University- Jordan
Abstract: This study aimed to explore the degree of readability of
Seventh Basic Grade Book "Our Arabic Language" in Jordan, and to
identify the effect of gender, type of school, and the nature of
knowledge presented in the readability of the book. To achieve the aims
of the study, the researcher used the text completion test on two
scientific and two literary texts selected from the book. The researcher
carried on the test on a sample consisted of 412 Seventh grade male and
female students from public and private schools. The findings of the
study have shown that the degree of readability of the book was within
the educational level. The findings have also shown that there were
statistically significant differences in the degree of the readability of the
book due to gender, in favor of females, and the nature of the text, in
favor of scientific texts. Finally, the findings of the study did not reveal
any statistically significant differences in the performance of students
due to type of school.
