Flesch Reading Ease Score
Rates text on a 100-point scale; the higher the score, the easier it is to understand the document. The Flesch score relies on the number of syllables and sentence lengths to determine the reading ease of the document. For most standard documents, aim for a score of approximately 60 to 70. A score in the range of 60 to 70 corresponds to 8th/9th grade English level. A score between 50 and 60 corresponds to a 10th/12th grade level. Below 30 is college graduate level. To give you a feel for what the different levels are like, most states require scores from 40-50 for insurance documents. More information on Flesch Reading Ease Score.
Fog Scale Grade Level Score
Similar to the Flesch scale in that it compares syllables and sentence lengths. 'Foggy' words are words that contain 3 or more syllables. A fog score of 5 is readable, 10 is hard, 15 is difficult, and 20 is very difficult. More information on Fog Scale Grade Level.
