Abstract
Textbooks are books that are used as standard references on certain subjects as supporting learning goals. One of the requirements of a good textbook is that the readability level is in accordance with the level of the target student class. This study aims to determine the level of readability of Indonesian textbooks Curriculum 2013 level of elementary school. The method used is descriptive analysis using Raygor graphics. The sample in this study were twelve texts from the Indonesian language book Curriculum 2013 class V. Each one theme was taken one text. The results showed that for grade V Indonesian textbooks, of the twelve texts analyzed, one text did not meet the criteria for analysis (8,3%), nine texts did not match the readability level (75%), and two texts were appropriate (16,7%). Overall, it can be concluded that the readability of the Indonesian textbook Curriculum 2013 at the grade V level of elementary school is not in accordance with the target students if measured using Raygor graphics. However, another interesting finding in the textbook is that there is a small dictionary at the bottom of each text that contains an explanation of some vocabulary related to the text presented.
