Abstract

Thirteen college textbooks devoted to education of the gifted and talented were analyzed with the Flesch formulae for readability and human interest. A wide range of difficulty and interest levels was found among the 13 texts. Subject matter coverage was also analyzed and charted. A wide variety of topics was found, with little agreement among authors concerning appropriate subject matter. Some important topics, such as career educational planning, received surprisingly little coverage. Some books were found to be lacking important sections, such as author or subject indices.
