Dale-Chall Formula

The new Dale-Chall formula is available!

 

Published in 1995, the “new” Dale-Chall readability formula uses an updated word list and table-lookup procedure in determining readability scores. Generally considered to be one of the most accurate readability formulas - the Dale-Chall formula is especially useful in scoring books, pamphlets, news articles... a wide variety of everyday reading materials.

 

Though capable of producing readability scores for the earliest primary grades, the Dale-Chall readability formula is most reliable when scoring materials intended for use at the fourth grade level through college.

 

The Dale-Chall formula is a vocabulary-based readability formula, matching its own list of words to the words in the material being evaluated, to determine the appropriate grade level. In addition, the Dale-Chall formula factors in the total number of words and sentences, arriving at an average sentence length.

 

Micro Power & Light Co. software implementation of the new Dale-Chall formula supports the scoring of materials in either of two modes - quick and approximate, or methodical and precise. You may use either mode - whichever best fits your accuracy requirements and time constraints.
