<p>I learned this in lit.</p>
<p>go on microsoft word and open your document</p>
<p>go to</p>
<p>tool-options-spelling & grammar-check off “show readability statistics”-then spell check your document</p>
<p>at the end, at the very bottom, it shows the grade level you are writing at—most newspapers are written at grade 2…it goes up to grade 12…I got lots of 11s and 12s :)</p>
<p>fun</p>
<p>yay i just checked it with my paper on Hamlet (as a tragic hero)
level = 12.0 wohoo!</p>
<p>checked my lit essay!</p>
<p>12.0 :)</p>
<p>but then my other lit essay was 8.3, haha. but that’s pretty cool!</p>
<p>how do you get it? i dont understand…</p>
<p>follow the simple instructions i gave above and apply to your microsoft word doc. not hard to follow.</p>
<p>That’s amazing. I keep getting 11.9 :P</p>
<p>okay i get it.
i tried my sister( who’s in 11th grade)'s essay and it says 7.2. :(</p>
<p>my research paper:</p>
<p>15% passive sentences
39.8 Flesch Reading Ease
11.4 Grade Level</p>
<p>hey how do they calculate?</p>
<p>because i’ve gotten 3 12’s, 2 11.9’s, and a few 8ish scores. and one 3.5. and i’m pretty sure that while my writing is slightly different, it shouldn’t differ too much. </p>
<p>hmmm.</p>
<p>it’s mainly sentence structure, vocab, etc i think…my lit teacher says semicolons help for some reason.</p>
