Readability signifies easy comprehension of the text by a reader. There are three main aspects of
readability: legibility of the text, easy flow of reading and easy comprehension. Thus, readability
of a book is dependent on many factors, such as clarity of presentation in terms of language and
illustration as also the ability of a reader in terms of his/her intellectual level, language
proficiency and mental alertness. All authors may not have equal capability to produce ‘readable’
books. But they can certainly umprove the readability of their books if they are able to know the
readability level of the manuscripts that they have produced. For this, several experts have
devised readability formulas to measure the readability of any text. Measurement of readability
refers to the process of assessing the extent of ease in reading and understanding a written text.
Most readability formulas are based on one semantic factor, 1.e., the difficulty of words and one
syntactic factor, Le., the difficulty of sentences. These formulas assume that longer sentences are
harder sentences and longer words are harder words. Each readability formula measures text
differently, but each formula typically assesses text only at the level of individual words and
sentences, in a purely mechanical way. They measure certain attributes of words and sentences in
isolation, ignoring other important attributes at the sentence level, including how writer has
connected sentences into paragraphs. By applying scientific and mathematical principles, the
readability principles aim to present an objective analysis about the readability of a particular
text. Some of the commonly used readability formulas are: Dale-Challa readability formula
(1948), PSK Readability Formula (1958), Gunning’s FOG index (1964), FK Grade Level
Formula (1975), and McAlpine EFLAW formula (2006). Word processor’s tool analyzes the text
supplied by a user and calculates the number of characters in the sentences, words and syllables
and finds reading level and grade level of the text by applying any of the readability formulas
used by it. Readability formulas have many advantages, but these are being often criticized as
‘over-simplification and a critique of creative writing’. Indeed most great literary works may fail
to pass the readability tests, though they are of very high quality. These formulas are more
relevant for textbooks and subject books. While efforts should be made to have readability
formulas which can give more accurate results, the authors should also be more alert to take
prepublication readability tests of their creations so that we can have more readable books.
What indicator of difficulty is used as parameter in readability measurement formulas?
1. Difficulties in mechanical way of phonetics
2. Difficulties in text printing with clarity
3. Number of repeated editors of the written text
4. Length of word and sentences in the written text
Which of the following is correct when readability formulas are arranged in reverse chronological order of their formation
1. Dale-Chall Readability formula, PSK Readability Formula, FK Grade Level Formula, McApine EFLAN Formula.
2. McApine EFLAN Formula, PSK Readability Formula, FK Grade Level Formula, Dale- Chall Readability Formulas
3. McApine EFLAN Formula, FK Grade Level Formula, PSK Readability Formula, Dale- Chall Readability formula
4. McApine EFLAN Formula, Dale-Chall Readability formula, FK Grade Level Formula, PSK Readability Formula,
Which of the following is not true in relation to the readability of written text?
1. Most literacy works of very high quality pass the readability test
2. One of the main aspects of readability is easy flow of reading
3. Readability formulas aim to present an analysis of a particular text scientifically.
4. Readability formulas are relevant for textbooks
What does the readability signify for a written text?
1. Readability of a written text signifies the style of printing
2. Readability signifies the ease in reading with which a reader can understand a written text
3. Readability signifies that all authors have equal capabilities to write or produce readable books
4. Readability signifies transforming an illegible text to legible text
What are the factors to be considered for the future success of readability to produce more readable books?
1. Using mathematical calculations more and more mechanically towards bringing oversimplification in readability formulas
2. Making authors more alert to take pre-publication readability tests for their creations and improving accordingly
3. Publishing the criticism of the textbooks
4. Reading rapidly more and more books
Before the printing press, books were incredibly scare and precious. No technique of mass
production being available, each book had be carefully copied by hand that took thousands of
skilled man-hours in transcribing texts, handcrafting ornate covers, and illuminating colorful
pages. Thus, in publicly accessible libraries, books were often shelved with chains for
safeguarding the library’s valuable collection from potential thieves while allowing the public to
read simultaneously. The chains were fitted to the corner or cover of the books through ringlets,
and were long enough to allow the books to be taken from their shelves and read. The books were
typically shelved with their fore-edges facing the reader, rather than their spines. It was a wrong
way of shelving as it made finding the right book more challenging. But it did allow the books to
be lifted and opened without needing to be turned around. But with the introduction of the
printing press, when duplicates became more readily available and significantly affordable, the
practice of chaining books to shelve died out.
In England, the Francis Trigge Chained Library, established in Grantham in 1598, is claimed to
be the first English public library in Wimborne Minister is the second largest chained library
founded in 1686 with the donation from Rev. William Stone. Worldwide, only a few chained
libraries have survived with their original furniture, chains and books. This includes the library
built in the Church of Siant Walpurga in 1564, located in the small town of Zutphen in the
Netherlands. The library is now the part of a museum that allows visitors to tour and view the
library’s original books, furniture and chains. Another chained library, the Bublioteca
Malatestiana library in Cesena, Italy, founded in 1454 is significant for being first civil library in
Europe open to the general public. In Ireland, Marsh’s Library in Dublin, built in 1701, is a noninstitutional library, which ts still housed in its original building. Interestingly, here it was not the
books that were chained. but rather the readers were locked into cages to prevent rare volumes
from ‘wandering’. The oldest chain book written in the eighth century, found in the Mappa
Mundiand Chained Library Museum located in Hereford, England, is the Hereford Gospels.
However, the largest surviving example of a chained library is Hereford Cathedral Library in UK
established in 1611 1s now open to the public as a tourist attraction of museum with its chains and
books intact.

Books, in a chained library, are shelved with chains because
1. The owner of the library denied readers from reading books
2, The books are arranged with their spines facing the readers.
3. With the introduction of printing press, books cost were high due to beautifully printed or hate covers
4. Readers were allowed reading valuable collection safeguarding from potential thieves
