What good
are your written materials if your readers find them too difficult to
understand? Alienate, bewilder and bore your readers, and they will hurl your
materials in the trash can.
If you want to write effectively and ensure
your readers can understand what you write, you need to assess the reading
level of your materials by using one (or more than one) readability formula.
Although we have used readability formulas for decades, using them -- with
their many formulaic steps and tedious word/syllable/sentence counting -- can
be a burden on the brain and a tax on time; that is, up until now.
READABILITY CALCULATIONS, a
Windows/Macintosh-based reading assessment program by Micro Power & Light
Co., automates the process of determining the reading level of your materials,
saving you time, money and plenty of headaches. Simply import or paste your
text into READABILITY PLUS, and the program quickly analyzes your text and
tells you the reading level(s) of your material using up to nine of the most
popular readability formulas.
READABILITY
CALCULATIONS can give you reading levels on all of your materials;
this includes technical manuals, reports, brochures, press releases, text
books, articles, business publications, and so forth. Now you can feel
confident that your readers will be able to understand your material and that
you have not wasted your time and energy in writing your material for the wrong
audience.
READABILITY CALCULATIONS
is a productivity software package containing up to nine of the most widely
used readability formulas supporting the assessment of written materials -
primary through college level. Formulas include the Fry Graph,
Dale-Chall, Flesch Reading Ease as well as Flesch Grade
Level, FORCAST, FOG, SMOG, Powers-Somner-Kearl
and Spache.
With access to a number of readability formulas, the
READABILITY CALCULATIONS is an
indispensable readability software for assessing the reading level of written
materials - whether by reading specialists, teachers, trainers, librarians,
instructional writers, curriculum writers, policy and procedure writers,
technical writers ...
