Spache and Dale-Chall both use familiar-words lists, but Spache targets younger readers (K-4) and Dale-Chall targets grades 4+. Use Spache for primary, Dale-Chall for everything else.

작동 방식

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.
