SMOG Formula

The SMOG readability formula is available!

 

The SMOG formula takes into consideration (1) the total number of sentences, and (2) the number of words of three or more syllables.

 

Since SMOG readability formula aims for 100% comprehension*, its grade level scores are usually higher than any of the other formulas, most of which target between 50% and 75% comprehension.

 

* Usually referred to as the formula’s “criterion score” - the required level of comprehension for reading “success” as indicated by the percentage of correct answers on a test covering the material. For example, the SMOG formula predicts the reading grade level required to answer correctly 100% of the questions covering the material.

 

Of the readability formulas included in the Readability Calculations package - the formula nearest to SMOG in terms of its comprehension target is the FOG formula, which targets 90% comprehension.

 

The readability software displays the SMOG’s scoring results on a screen which may contain other formula results as well. (This provided you have chosen to apply more than one formula to the material being evaluated.)

 

To see an example of how this formula’s results are displayed by the program, click multiple formula results screen.
