FAQ
1. How are your reading levels determined?
We use Microsoft Word to auto determine the reading level based on US K-12 grade systems. The reading level is determined in Microsoft word, which uses the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score.
According to Microsoft Word Help: "The formula for the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score is: (.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) - 15.59
where:
ASL = average sentence length (the number of words divided by the number of sentences)
ASW = average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables divided by the number of words)"
