Abstract

Sadoski, Goetz and Rodriguez (2000) concluded that familiar texts are more interesting. [...]we will seek the correlates of text interest in the indices of word familiarity and, first of all, according to their frequency in language. 3. [...]the students took a post-test that was a different version from the four versions of the content test. Analogous recommendations for enhancing text comprehension have been effective in most cases studied, but not always (Klare 1963). [...]we have to be careful about offering recommendations for an interesting style from Tables 1-8. [...]the recommendations for enhancing text interest lead to content that is more concrete and familiar for students.
