READABILITY SCORES
When Microsoft Word finishes checking spelling and grammar, it can
display information about the reading level of the document, including
the following readability scores. Each readability score bases its
rating on the average number of syllables per word and words per sentence.
Note For some European languages within an English document, Word
displays only information about counts and averages, not readability.
Flesch Reading Ease score
Rates text on a 100-point scale; the higher the score, the easier it is
to understand the document. For most standard documents, aim for a score
of approximately 60 to 70.
The formula for the Flesch Reading Ease score is:
206.835 – (1.015 x ASL) – (84.6 x ASW)
where:
ASL = average sentence length (the number of words divided by the number
of sentences)
ASW = average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables
divided by the number of words)
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score
Rates text on a U.S. grade-school level. For example, a score of 8.0
means that an eighth grader can understand the document. For most
standard documents, aim for a score of approximately 7.0 to 8.0.
The formula for the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score is:
(.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) – 15.59
where:
ASL = average sentence length (the number of words divided by the number
of sentences)
ASW = average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables
divided by the number of words)
DISPLAY READABILITY STATISTICS
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar
tab.
Select the Check grammar with spelling check box.
Select the Show readability statistics check box, and then click OK.
On the Standard toolbar, click Spelling and Grammar .
When Microsoft Word finishes checking spelling and grammar, it displays
information about the reading level of the document.
Notes
If you’ve set up Word to check the spelling and grammar of text in other
languages, and a document contains text in multiple languages, Word
displays readability statistics for text in the last language that was
checked. For example, if a document contains three paragraphs — the
first in English, the second in French, and the third in English — Word
displays readability statistics for the third English paragraph only.
For some European languages within an English document, Word displays
only information about counts and averages, not readability.
