工作原理

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level is the educational counterpart of Flesch Reading Ease, developed for the US Navy in 1975.

The output corresponds to a US school grade level: a score of 8 means an 8th grader should be able to read the passage.

It is widely used by US government agencies and is required for many federal documents.

常见问题

What grade level should I aim for?

For general public communication target grade 7–8. For technical documentation, grade 10–12 is acceptable. Avoid going above 14 unless writing for specialists.

How is it different from Flesch Reading Ease?

Flesch-Kincaid outputs a US grade level instead of a 0–100 score. The two are inversely related: lower ease = higher grade.

Why does FK sometimes give a higher grade than Gunning Fog?

FK is more sensitive to syllable count; Fog is more sensitive to complex (3+ syllable) words. Technical text with many compound words usually scores higher on Fog.
