On the character of books for beginner readers with regard to text difficulty and readability
Holanová, Šárka ; Bučková, Tamara (advisor) ; Martschini, Elisabeth (referee)
The thesis deals with the book genre Erstlesebuch (book for beginner readers) and has in view its contemporary character with regard to readability for beginner readers. The theoretical part presents its interdisciplinary and the specifics of this book genre itself. In reference to the interdisciplinarity there are findings of following disciplines to allow: literary science, more precisely children's literature research, readability research, didactic reading and psychology of reading. The theoretical part also reveals some characteristics of Erstlesebuch in contrast with a common book for children and with belles- lettres at all. The theoretical-analytic part focuses on the complex analysis of six chosen contemporary Erstlesebuchs and is composed by three parts: a literary theoretical commentary, an analysis readability, and a comment on the composition of these books. The final part of the thesis concludes with empirical research. This research tested the influence of some criteria of readability by the children in second and third classes of a primary school in Austria. Based on the results, the text difficulty of the chosen Erstlesebuch will be assessed. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The theoretical part also presents the specifics of the book genre Erstlesebuch itself. The empirical part of this thesis is based on several investigations: firstly on a complex analysis (readability and text structure) of six Erstlesebuch and secondly on empirical research in reading with schoolchildren at higher grades of an elementary school (children at the age of 13-15). These results are compared to the results of similar research done with Austrian beginner readers (children between the ages of 7 and 9). The final part of the thesis concludes...
