A note on "Simplification of Flesch reading ease formula.'

Abstract

Klare questions the advisability of the suggestion made by Farr, et al . (see 26: 3973) that a Flesch count should be made by counting the number of single syllable words. He questions whether this suggested method would actually be easier, faster, and more reliable, as the authors purportedly claim. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
