仕組み

The Spache Readability Formula was developed in 1953 specifically for primary-grade text (K-4).

It scores against a list of approximately 1,000 words familiar to elementary readers, combined with sentence length: grade = 0.121 × avg sentence length + 0.082 × % unfamiliar + 0.659.

Best used to evaluate beginning readers, picture books, and ESL primary material. Above grade 4, switch to Dale-Chall.

よくある質問

When should I use Spache vs. Dale-Chall?

Spache for K-4 reading material. Dale-Chall for grade 4+. They use different familiar-words lists.

Why are some common words flagged unfamiliar?

The Spache list dates to 1953 — modern children's vocabulary may not match. Suffix stripping helps but isn't perfect.

What's a good Spache score?

Grade 1-2 for early readers, 3-4 for primary independent reading. Above grade 4, use a different formula.

実例

よくある落とし穴

  • Spache is calibrated only up to grade 4; above that, switch to Dale-Chall.
  • The familiar-words list is from 1953 — modern children's vocabulary may not match.
  • Proper nouns are flagged as unfamiliar by default.
  • A few unusual words on a short sample swing the score dramatically.
