Readability Statistics

Being aware of the readability statistics of your writing is an extension of APA style. APA style emphasizes active instead of passive sentences. There is no hard or fast passive sentence percentage. The recommendation is that the passive sentence percentage is 13 percent of lower. Shorter sentences are encouraged so that working memory is not overloaded. There is a direct relationship between sentence length and Flesch Reading Ease. Scores above 45 are encouraged. Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level estimation will vary depending upon the topic and the audience. This paper should be in a grade level range from 10-15.

The readability statistics consist of: Passive Sentences; Flesch Reading Ease; and Flesch-Kincaid Reading Level.
