Flesch Reading Ease scores and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scores measure readability of text. Some programs, such as Microsoft Word, include features that allow you to automatically obtain readability scores. Divide into groups of three or four students. Using at least three different writing samples, such as the New York Times, USA Today, and the Onion, obtain readability scores for ten samples of text from each source. Use the methods of this chapter to determine whether there are any differences.
