Clement Falbo had the simple idea of measuring a bunch of seashells. They
do indeed form logarithmic spirals, but the ratios he observed of real seashells
were not close to 1.6; they were all in a range of 1.24–1.43. Falbo, C. (2005).

Notable were the “Dick and Jane” book series by William Gray (longtime
dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Education) and Zerna Sharp, published
by Scott Foresman from the 1930s through the 1970s. They
were often parodied for their repetitiveness, with page after page of text like
“Oh see! Oh see Jane! Jane can run! Run, Jane, run!”

Flesch specifically singled out linguists and psychologists as worthy researchers
of reading; education researchers were, he said, the problem. The review in
the journal of the Linguistic Society of America was mostly favorable: Hall,
R. A., Jr. (1956). Review of Why Johnny Can’t Read. Language, 32, 310–313;

Cattell (1940s–1950s), Joy Paul Guilford (1950s–1960s), and John Carroll
(1990s). I discuss the differences between Gardner’s theory and these others
in my book Why Don’t Students Like School?
