Julie Niles PetersenRoe et al. (2009) suggested this link because it "provides general information and a guide for educators, regarding readability resources, including links for the Flesch and Gunning Fox Index" (p. 65). It is from Kathy Schrock's website.
It also has searchable databases of leveled texts. -

Laura TardioUnder the "Subject Access" area I chose Literature and ELA because I am most interested in the study of literature. I found a link to a website that complies useful author information for students. I can imagine that this resource will be helpful to students in a semester where they are required to read several texts and need help organizing and remembering information. Under "Teacher Helpers" I found a link to a resource called "Fry's Readability Graph" which measures a piece of text for difficulty or ease of reading. I would make use of this tool to gauge the readability of a text or article I would potentially assign to my class to make sure the subject matter would not be beyond their comprehension based on their reading level.

stephanie bruccoleriI found the Fry's readability graph to be a very helpful resource; as I want to become a lower grade (K-3) elementary school teacher, the graphs are very useful in determining to which reading level a specific test is meant for.

Wendy Windust"Teachers often would like to check the readability of a piece of writing. Edward Fry, formerly of the Rutgers University Reading Center, created one of the most widely used, and easy-to-use readability graphs for educators. Thanks go to McGraw-Hill for granting me permission to reproduce this information on the Web. (Taken from Fry, Edward.Elementary Reading Instruction. NY : McGraw Hill, 1977, p.217.) and most currently appearing in his book, The Reading Teachers Books of Lists (2006). Dr. Fry has let me know that the graph is copyright free, but one cannot alter the graph or directions and still call it the Fry Readability Graph. Thank you to Dr. Fry for letting me know teachers can use the graph, copyright free! "

You may also want to check out a piece of software called Readability Plus (for both the PC or Mac) which includes the readability formulas for Dale-Chall, Fry, Flesch Grade Level, Flesch Reading Ease, FOG, SMOG, FORCAST, Powers-Somner-Kearl, and Spache. You can either import a text file, cut-and-paste into the entry box, or type the passages yourself.

Andrea OwenDirections for Use of the Fry Readability Graph:
Randomly select three 100-word passages from a book or an article.
Plot the average number of syllables and the average number of sentences per 100 words on the graph to determine the grade level of the material.
Choose more passages per book if great variability is observed and conclude that the book has uneven readability.
Few books will fall into the solid black area, but when they do, grade level scores are invalid. -
