Abstract
The research aimed mainly at measuring the readability of some Egyptian agricultural magazines among the extension employees in Minya Governorate, and more specifically to achieve the following objectives: (1) Measuring readability of some agricultural magazines among extension employees in Minia governorate using the cloze test; (2) Examining the significant differences among the studied magazines according to their readability. The readability of three agricultural journals (agricultural extension magazine, agricultural newspaper magazine, and shams magazine) were measured by applying the cloze test for nine randomly selected texts from nine topics representing the three studied magazines. Data were collected using questionnaire forms during the period from October to December 2022, from 73 respondents representing 60.8 % of the total extension employees in Minia Governorate (120 individuals). Frequencies, percentages, arithmetic mean and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for data presentation and analysis. The results indicated that the studied agricultural magazines generally fall within the frustration level. The results also showed significant differences among the studied magazines. The research presented a set of recommendations to the staff in charge of editing the studied magazines to help improving the readability of their content.
