This paper presents an outline of the readability assessment system construction for the purposes of the Russian language learning. The system is designed to help educators easily obtain the information about the difficulty level of reading materials. The estimation task is posed here as a regression problem on data set of 600 texts and a range of lexico-semantic and morphological features. The scale choice and annotated text collection issues are also discussed. Finally, we present the results of the experiment with learners of Russian as a foreign language to evaluate the quality of a predictive model
