Micro Power & Light Co.

This screen shows results of applying the Spache formula.

The (scrollable) field at the left displays (1) the grade-level score, (2) sample identification and text, (3) word count, (4) sentence count, (5) identifies words treated by the formula as “unfamiliar,” and (6) the number of occurrences of such words in the material.

In the left field, note the entry named “Baseline Formula SCORE:”  When you (the user) apply the Spache formula, you may select either of two versions of the formula -- the 1966 (Baseline) or 1974 (Revised) version. (The software’s documentation describes a procedure enabling you to make a sound choice for your particular material.)

The (scrollable) field at the right provides all the information required to interpret the various data entries.

Important: One screen containing all relevant data and information necessary to fully understand the formula’s results.
