Abstract

This article discusses the method of estimating the complexity of textbooks for secondary schools in Azerbaijan using readability formulas modified for the Azerbaijani language. The dynamics of changes in the level of readability of textbooks in the transition from lower grades to older ones, as well as the relevance of the complexity of educational materials to the age characteristics of students are analyzed
