Checking Readability Quick Activity

Quick Activity

Complete the following worksheet to analyse your own readability level and how you will work to improve your reading. This is an essential activity, so don't forget to upload your answers.

Try out the Five-Finger Technique on one of your college textbooks or recommended reading books and note how well you did on the worksheet.

You can also check an online text's readability score at this website: Readability Score. Paste in the text and click return to see the feedback scores. This page, for instance, came out at F-K Grade Level 7.6, meaning it is about right for general public reading abilities. Have a go at pasting a webpage - perhaps choose something from a Google Scholar search - and note the results on the worksheet.
