On readability formulae

I have been looking for another one of my stories that might be suitable for use with the HAPANI Progressors at 38 Wellington Park.
This has reactivated my interest in the use of readability formulae and ways in which I can identify any key vocabulary that is likely to require a pre-teaching.
  • Robert Gunning's FOG index is useful for this
  • So too is Laurence Antony's AntConc
  • And of course the Flesch-Kincaid rating in Microsoft Word (Tools > Spelling and Grammar).
