Readability scales use factors like number of syllables per word and average length of sentences and paragraphs to estimate how easy (or difficult) a piece is to read. The score is often expressed as a grade level.

Example: A score of ~13+ suggests the text may require more than the average high school education to read comfortably, while a ~6–7 score is typically much easier.

We include readability scores to help teachers select materials appropriate for their students. Learn more on Wikipedia, or try the same system we use at readability-score.com.
