Subject:Readability Formulas

Dear Everyone,

I am doing research about using the readability formulas in  
predicting the difficulty of the Arabic Written Texts specifically  
the reading materials. I was wondering if you know of any literature  
that tackles this issue or any similar research that creates formulas  
of the same kind/purpose.

P.S: Readability formulas are measurements that are used in (English,  
French, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Hebrew, etc.) to determine the  
difficulty of the written texts and leveling these texts to match the  
students’ skill level.

Thanks
