Readability analysis� Measure the linguistic complexity of texts by assessing their
difficulty with reference to
� average number of syllables per word,
� average word lengths,
� average sentence lengths, and/or
� frequencies of words that appear in a text.
� Fry’s formulate works on a sample of 100 words which come
from the beginning, middle, and the end of the text; and
calculates the difficulty in positive correlation with word
and sentence lengths.Digital writing tools by S. Razı 4

The Flesch Reading Ease Readability Formula� The specific mathematical formula is:
� RE = 206.835 – (1.015 x ASL) – (84.6 x ASW)
� RE = Readability Ease
� ASL = Average Sentence Length (i.e., the number of words divided by the number of sentences)
� ASW = Average number of syllables per word (i.e., the number of syllables divided by the number of words)
� The output ranges from 0 to 100.
� The higher the number, the easier the text is to read.
� 90.0 - 100.0: easily understandable by an average 5th grader.
� 60.0 - 70.0: easily understood by 8th and 9th graders.
� 0.0 - 30.0: easily understood by college graduates.

The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Readability Formula� Step 1: Calculate the average number of words used per sentence.� Step 2: Calculate the average number of syllables per word.� Step 3: Multiply the average number of words by 0.39 and add it to
the average number of syllables per word multiplied by 11.8.� Step 4: Subtract 15.59 from the result.
� FKRA = (0.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) - 15.59� FKRA = Flesch-Kincaid Reading Age� ASL = Average Sentence Length (i.e., the number of words divided
by the number of sentences)� ASW = Average number of Syllable per Word (i.e., the number of
syllables divided by the number of words)� The score indicates a grade-school level (i.e., a score of 9.3 means
that a ninth grader would be able to read the document).Digital writing tools by S. Razı 6
