As a result of this analysis, sentences and word lengths of the texts, frequency and percentage values of the obtained findings about the readability levels were shown in tables and graphs. In the determination of the words, sentence lengths and readability of the texts, Ateşman’s (1997) readability formula adapted to Turkish from Flesch and the readability formula developed by Çetinkaya (2010) were used. 22 texts in the 8th grade Turkish textbook prepared by MEB (Ministry of National Education) Publications were analyzed in the research and the free reading texts included the research, but the poems excluded from the scope of the research.
