Title StatementFormulation and testing of a readability guide for the construction of agricultural reading materials
General NoteBaybay, Leyte: VISCA, 1983. 119p. -(PCARRD Proj. No. 579; Study 2)
Summary, Etc.The study was conducted to: (1) formulate a readability guide for the construction of agricultural reading materials; (2) construct and revise agricultural reading materials in English and Cebuano according to readability guide; (3) test the workability of the readability guide by constructing farmer bulletins in Waray; and (4) formulate pre-test and post-test schemes for farmer bulletins based on the cloze method, functionality of the process and ease of implementation. Twenty-one illustrated and revised excerpts in leaf and bulletin forms were subjected to visual appraisal of 100 farmers each from four Waray and Cebuano speaking communities. A readability guide for farmer bulletins could be constructed from a long extended process of prototyping, cloze testing, linguistic analysis of text, prototype revisions and rigid scheme of pretesting. Although the readability guide could direct the revision process aimed at maximizing readability or reducing reading difficulty, it could not guarantee accuracy of technical information until confirmed by the subject matter specialist. Moreover, the readability guide was a good tool in reaching out effectively to farmers by print. There is a need to explore the possibility of expanding the readability guide for major Visayan dialects that are used in putting out print not only for farmers but also for rural folk in general
