Eleven of the books were the same for all the three grades and were studied for all of them. The results obtained via the Flash-Diani formula showed 0-percent readability for the second grade, 0-percent readability for the third grade, and 8. 12-percent readability for the fourth grade. They also revealed100-percent non-readability for the second grade, 100-percent non-readability for the third grade, and91. 88-percent non-readability for the fourth grade. Moreover, based on the Galing-Diani formula, the results manifested 0-percent readability for the second grade, 0-percent readability for the third grade, and 1. 74-percent readability for the fourth grade. They also revealed100-percent non-readability for the second grade, 100-percent non-readability for the third grade, and98. 16-percent non-readability for the fourth grade.
