Description: This chapter will indicate some of the literature dealing with reading difficulties and draw the discussion comprising section two together. It will also report some contemporary research that makes use of tools for the quantitative prediction of text difficulty and exposure, of actual student difficulty with particular texts. The chapter will close with suggestions of potentially fruitful areas for future development. These suggestions will distinguish between the two groups most concerned with test comprehensibility: teachers who select, modify and use text resources and authors and publishers who produce them.
