Flesch-Kincaid readability tests
|
MyNovel includes readability analysis tools based on the Flesch reading ease and
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level.
Readability analysis is extremely useful to make sure you are writing clear English
which is essential to make your manuscript commercially viable. The grade level
/ reading age test is also useful when you are writing for children and need to
ensure that the reading age of your work is not too high (or too low for that matter!)
|
As a general rule, the scoring system should be interpreted as follows:
|
Score
|
Notes
|
|
90.0 - 100.0
|
Easily understandable by an average 11 year old student
|
|
60.0 - 70.0
|
Easily understandable by 13-15 year old students
|
|
00.0 - 30.0
|
Best understood by university graduates
|
To use the readability and reading analysis tools, simply display the
progress dialog which displays the readability and reading age of every
chapter of your novel individually, or click the
readability button.
