Compute Raw Score using the following equation : Raw Score = (0.1579 * PDW) + (0.0496 * ASL) + 3.6365 GRADE LEVEL 4.9 and below 5.0 to 5.9 6.0 to 6.9 7.0 to 7.9 8.0 to 8.9 9.0 to 9.9 10.0 and above ADJUSTED SCORE Grades 4 and below Grades 5 and 6 Grades 7 and 8 Grades 9 and 10 Grades 11 and 12 College College Graduate
Count N, i.e., the number of single-syllable words in the passage. Calculate Grade Level by applying the following equation using N from the step above. Grade Level = 20 (N/10) Reading Age is calculated as follows: Reading Age = 25 (N/10) years
Algorithm :
Take a sample passage containing about 100 words and count the number of words and sentences in the passage. Divide the total number of words in the passage by the number of sentences. We arrive at parameter called Average Sentence Length(ASL). Count the number of words in the passage which are not present in the Revised Spache Word List. Calculate Percentage Of Hard Words(PHW) by dividing the number obtained in step 3 by the total number of words in the passage and multiply by 100. Grade Level is then calculated as follows: Spache Readability Index / Grade Level = (0.141 * ASL) + (0.086 * PDW) + 0.839
