The document describes the Fry Readability Graph, a method developed by Dr. Edward Fry to assess the readability of written text. It involves taking a 100 word sample, counting the number of sentences and syllables, and plotting those values on a graph to determine the corresponding grade level - the level at which a typical student could understand the text. A lower grade level indicates an easier reading level. The Fry Readability Graph provides an estimate of readability, and other methods also exist to assess text complexity.

Fry Readability Graph: The Fry Readability Graph is a formula developed by Dr. Edward Fry to assess the readability of written materials. It involves counting the number of sentences and syllables in a passage and then using a graph to determine the readability level. Here are the general steps: Select a Sample: Choose a sample of around 100 words from the text you want to assess. Count Sentences and Syllables: Count the number of sentences in the sample. Count the number of syllables in the sample.
Graph the Results: Use the Fry Graph, a chart with sentence length on one axis and syllable count on the other, to 鍖nd the intersection of your counts. The point on the graph will correspond to a grade level, indicating the approximate reading level required to understand the text. Interpretation: The lower the grade level, the easier the text is to read. For example, a result at the "4th-grade level" suggests that a typical fourth-grader should be able to understand the text. It's worth noting that while the Fry Readability Graph can provide a rough estimate, it's just one of many tools available for assessing readability. Other methods, like the Flesch- Kincaid Grade Level or the Gunning Fog Index, are also commonly used.
