POWER Configurations

 

The Spache and “new” Dale-Chall formulas are two of the most popular vocabulary-driven readability formulas. Whereas Spache is used with primary materials, Dale-Chall scores materials assuming a reading competence beyond third grade, up through college level.

 

We offer two “configurations” of both these formulas:

 

Baseline Configurations - included in our Readability Formulas product.

 

Though called “Baseline”, this Configuration includes a number of features not generally available with the software of either, features such as ...

 

•  helpful guidelines for pre-editing materials to ensure scoring accuracy

•  ability to tailor formula scoring by modifying the formula’s dictionary

•  user control of how the formula handles titles, headings and list entries

•  user control of how the formula handles both colons and semicolons

•  scoring of either manually-entered samples or of entire files

 

POWER Configurations - a separate product: “POWER Configurations”

 

These Configurations were developed to meet the precise readability scoring needs encountered in large publishing operations. In addition to all the features of the Baseline Configurations described above, the POWER Configurations also includes such extremely powerful features as ...

 

•  scores more precise than simply grade level or grade range

•  replacement of difficult with familiar terms to note effect on scoring

•  various options to override the formula’s customary handling of words

•  ability to have the formula treat an entire expression as though one word

•  optional use of time-saving word-replacement and formula-override files
