Abstract
Readers often find data processing written materials difficult to understand. Poor writing style can adversely accept reader performance with and acceptance of textual materials. A number of methods have been used to measure or predict readability; the cloze procedure is a psycholinguistic technique which measures the extent to which a particular audience understands specific textual material. An exploratory cloze investigation of introductory COBOL textbooks and the ANSI COBOL Standard indicated that they all have readability problems for a significant number of students; cloze results also correlated with comprehension tests and readability formula estimates.
