How to Calculate Reading Level
What is Reading Level?
A reading level calculator assesses text difficulty using measures like the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Gunning Fog Index, or Lexile score. These formulas weight average sentence length and average word length (syllables). A Flesch-Kincaid Grade 8 text is accessible to most 13–14 year olds.
