Addition of a button in OO Writer to calculate the readability of a document 
would be very helpful. 
 
The Flesch-Kincaid Readability Score can be calculated from: 
206.835 - 1.015 (total words / total sentences) - 84.6 (total syllables / total 
words) 
 
The score has a scale of 0-100. 90-100 is average readability for a 5th grade 
person (USA), 60-70 is readable by an 8th or 9th grader. 
 
The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level can be calculated from: 
0.39 (total words / total sentences) + 11.8 (total syllables / total words) - 
15.59 
 
 
The Gunning Fog Index can be calculated from: 
Reading Level (Grade) = (Average No. of words in sentences / Percentage of 
words of three or more syllables) x 0.4 
 
Readability tests are well documented on Wikipedia.
