There are two tests, the Flesch Reading Ease, and the Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level. Although they use the same core measures (word length and sentence length), they have different weighting factors, so the results of the two tests correlate approximately inversely: a text with a comparatively high score on the Reading Ease test should have a lower score on the Grade Level test.

Step 2: Calculate the average number of syllables per word. Step 3: Multiply the average number of words by 0.39 and add it to the average number of syllables per word multiplied by 11.8. Step 4: Subtract 15.59 from the result. The specific mathematical formula is: FKRA = (0.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) - 15.59 Where, FKRA = Flesch-Kincaid Reading Age ASL = Average Sentence Length (i.e., the number of words divided by the number of sentences) ASW = Average number of Syllable per Word (i.e., the number of syllables divided by the number of words) From this explanation can be assumed that : Readability test is a way to measure the reading ease, comprehension, retention, reading speed, and reading persistence of a text and there are four step to calculate a test in order easier to do it.

These factors include: 1. The interest and motivation of the reader. 2. The legibility of the print (and of any illustrations). 3.

Flesch Reading Ease Formula
The Flesch Reading Ease Formula is a simple approach to assess the grade-level of the reader. It’s also one of the few accurate measures around that we can rely on without too much scrutiny. This formula is best used on school text.
The specific mathematical formula is:
RE = 206.835 – (1.015 x ASL) – (84.6 x ASW) RE = Readability Ease ASL = Average Sentence Length (i.e., the number of words divided by the number of sentences) ASW = Average number of syllables per word (i.e., the number of syllables divided by the number of words)
The output, i.e., RE is a number ranging from 0 to 100. The higher the number, the easier the text is to read.
Scores between 90.0 and 100.0 are considered easily understandable by an average 5th grader.
Scores between 60.0 and 70.0 are considered easily understood by 8th and 9th graders.
Scores between 0.0 and 30.0 are considered easily understood by college graduates.

George Klare (1963) defines readability as "the ease of understanding or comprehension due to the style of writing." This definition focuses on writing style as separate from issues such as content, coherence, and organization. In a similar manner, Gretchen Hargis and her colleagues at IBM (1998) state that readability, the "ease of reading words and sentences," is an attribute of clarity. From the explanation above it can be assumed that readability is a test that used to measure a text for how easy it is to read. Readability tests give a prediction as to how difficult readers will find a particular text. Furthermore according to Edgar Dale and Jeanne Chall's (1949) definition may be the most comprehensive: "The sum total (including all the interactions) of all those elements within a given piece of printed material that affect the success a group of readers have with it. The success is the extent to which they understand it, read it at an optimal speed, and find it interesting."

FKRA = (0.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) - 15.59

According to Chris Durcan (2012 )Readability Tests are designed to give a statistical analysis of the difficulty of a text. While any attempt to reduce language use, which is inherently creative, to statistics can be criticised, readability tests can be used to give an approximate indication.
So, it can be assumed that Readability is a measure of an instrument's ability to display incremental changes in its output value. For example, a balance with a readability of 1 mg will not display any difference between objects with masses from 0.6 mg to 1.4 mg, because possible display values are 0 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg etc. Likewise, a balance with a readability of 0.1 mg will not display any difference between objects with masses from 0.06 mg to 0.14 mg.

According to Stephens Cheryl (2000) Readability test is Readability describes the ease with which a document can be read. Readability tests, which are mathematical formulas, were designed to assess the suitability of books for students at particular grade levels or ages.
From the definition it can be assumed that reaability is the test with mathematic formula to measuring the appropriate text for appropriate levels.
adopted from Cheryl Stephen (2000) all about readability.

Readability test
ReplyDeleteJ. Gilland (1972) states that readability test Readability tests are a way to measure the reading ease, comprehension, retention, reading speed, and reading persistence of a text. It can be implied that readabilityt test is the test to measure reading text about the structure, word choices, ease, comprehension, the content, and the difficulties of the text. It could be one of the way to choose appropiate reading text to the appropiate level.

George Klare (1963) defines readability as "the ease of understanding or comprehension due to the style of writing." This definition focuses on writing style as separate from issues such as content, coherence, and organization. In a similar manner, Gretchen Hargis and her colleagues at IBM (1998) state that readability, the "ease of reading words and sentences," is an attribute of clarity. From the explanation above it can be assumed that readability is a test that used to measure a text for how easy it is to read. Readability tests give a prediction as to how difficult readers will find a particular text. Furthermore according to Edgar Dale and Jeanne Chall's (1949) definition may be the most comprehensive: "The sum total (including all the interactions) of all those elements within a given piece of printed material that affect the success a group of readers have with it. The success is the extent to which they understand it, read it at an optimal speed, and find it interesting." So it can be assumed that readability test is the way to know how to read a text an optimal speed and comfortable about the text and interesting.
