Özet:

Readability is the assessment of texts through readability formulas towards their readers levels. In this study, the texts in the secondary Turkish teaching books were studied in the direction of readability. Only readings in the form of text are included. Poetry-type texts have not been included in the work for more accurate calculation of data due to reasons such as the excess of word repetitions, the length and structure of the text are different. The use of different readability formulas has studied the values of the number of letters, the number of words, the number of sentences, the word and the length of sentences. These calculated values provide information about the structure and difficulties of reading texts. A total of 100 pieces of reading have been studied. The texts are divided according to their types and the texts have been found to be generally at "easy" and "mediate level" levels. It has been determined that the difficulty levels of informative texts are greater than the difficulty levels of narrative texts. The study found that the difficulty levels of texts in terms of readability did not increase significantly according to class levels. As the class levels increase, the level of reading pieces has not increased. With the combination of this study and other studies, criteria can be developed that can give more accurate results for the readability of texts.
