Check the readability score of your text

With our free readability checker you can instantly calculate how easily your intended audience will be able to read your written content.

What readability tests does this tool score your text on?

This automatically gives your text the score for the following 8 readability metrics:

Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease

Higher scores in this test indicate that the written material is easier to read. This readability score is widely used across many commercial and Governmental sectors.

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level

Used throughout the field of education and beyond, this test scores your text as a U.S. grade level. This makes it much easier for teachers, librarians, parents and others to correctly assess the overall readability level of their reading materials. It also can be referred to as the number of years of education that are required to properly understand the text.

Gunning Fog Index

This score estimates the number of years of education required by the reader to fully understand the written content. For example, a fog index of 12 would indicate a reading level of a U.S. high school senior, at 18 years old.

Coleman-Liau Index

This test aims to gauge the U.S. grade level required to understand a passage of text.

SMOG Index Score

This index scores according to the humber of years of education needed by the reader to understand the text. SMOG is actually a fun acronym for Simple Measure Of Gobbledygook.

Automated Readability Index

Like several other readability scoring metrics, the ARI gives an estimation of the U.S. grade level required of the reader.

New Dale Chall Readability Formula

Using large lists of words that are understood by fourth grade students in the U.S, this metric provides the following scoring.

Spache Readability Score

This formula compares a passage of text against a defined list of everyday words. The percentage of words not on that list, and the length of the sentences help determine the approximate reading age.

This word list generator is open-ended, so it can meet your needs in the classroom! It is a free phonics resource that can adapt to students at a variety of levels and can teach a variety of phonics skills. You can create a free, printable word list or free, printable word cards.

The phonics word list generator currently includes real and nonsense words with the following patterns: CVC, consonant digraphs, consonant blends (CCVC and CVCC), r-controlled vowels, silent e (VCe), and vowel teams. We will add more patterns over time.

To create a word list or word cards, simply select the phonics features you want to include. You can select as many or as few as you'd like. All the words on your list will contain at least one of the phonics features that you have selected.

For a more diverse word list, we'd recommend selecting all of the concepts you have taught. For example, you could select CVC words, digraph words, consonant blend words, and r-controlled vowel words to allow your students to review everything they've learned.

For a more targeted word list, we'd recommend selecting fewer concepts. For example, you could select only r-controlled vowels to create a list in which every word will contain an r-controlled vowel.

If you haven't taught all of the letters or sounds yet, don't worry! You can choose to include only certain letters. This can be a useful tool in the following situations:

You're a kindergarten teacher introducing the letters of the alphabet one a time. You can create word lists containing only the letters that you've taught. Students can learn to read CVC words that contain only sounds that they know!

You're introducing a new concept, such as digraphs or silent e words, and want to focus on a single sound at a time. You can create a word list that contains only digraph words with sh, for example. This can also be useful for extra practice with challenging sounds.

You want to create a word list with two or three easily-confused features for students to compare and contrast. For example, you could create a word list using only the short vowels e and i. Students can sort word cards by the relevant feature or practice reading a word list containing both sounds.

After creating your list, simply click on "Generate word list" or "Generate word cards" to create and download your free, printable PDF. Then, just repeat the process if you'd like to create a new list. Unlimited free word lists are at your fingertips!

What are CVC words?

CVC words are any three-letter words that follow a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. They are the easiest words to read because they contain only three letters and short vowel sounds. Examples of CVC words are: cat, hem, sit, pot, run. Examples of CVC nonsense words are: lat, rix, weg.

Our CVC words do not include soft g or soft c (for example, gem or cel). They also do not include the ending sounds am or an, since some phonics programs teach these as separate glued or welded sounds.

Some of our CVC words have more than three letters, as we classify qu as a single consonant. If you'd like to eliminate qu words from your list, simply create a list that does not include qu.

What are digraphs?

Digraphs (or "consonant digraphs") are two letters that make a single sound when put together. The digraphs we use are: wh, ch, sh, th, and ck. Wh can only go at the beginning of a word, and ck can only go at the end of a word. The other sounds can appear anywhere within the word. Examples of words with digraphs are: which, much, ship, with, pack. Examples of digraph nonsense words are: chack, pash, thex.

What are consonant blends?

Consonant blends are two consonants that go together but still make two separate sounds. These can appear at the beginning or at the end of a word. Sometimes words with consonant blends are called CCVC words or CVCC words, depending on if the consonant blend comes before or after the vowel. CCVCC words are words that have a consonant blend at the beginning and the end of the word. We prefer to use the term "consonant blends" to clearly distinguish between blends and digraphs, which both have two consonants in a row. Examples of words with consonant blends are: slip, tend, grunt. Examples of consonant blend nonsense words are: plag, gresp, posk.

What are r-controlled vowels?

When a vowel is followed by the letter r, the vowel changes its sound. The r-controlled vowels we use are: ar, er, ir, or, ur. Examples of words with r-controlled vowels are: car, fern, fir, port, curl. Examples of nonsense words with r-controlled vowels are: barp, hork, mern.

What are silent e words?

Silent e words, also known as VCe words, are words in which the vowel makes its long sound, rather than its short sound, because the word ends with an e. Examples of silent e words are: make, here, pine, robe, cube. Examples of silent e nonsense words are: gabe, bice, quebe.

Note that g, c, and sometimes s change their sound when followed by a silent e (e.g., nice, page, nose). Our VCe word lists do include words that end with -ce, -ge, and -se. If you would prefer not to include these words, perhaps if your students are in the early stages of learning to read words with VCe patterns, we recommend that you exclude the consonants c, g, and s from your search.

What are vowel teams?

Vowel teams (also known as vowel digraphs) are two vowels that work together to make one sound. Although teachers often use the phrase "When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking" when teaching vowel teams, this rule does not apply in all cases, and we recommend instead teaching each vowel team with its sound. The vowel teams that we include in our word lists are: ai, au, aw, ay, ea, ee, ew, ey, ie, oa, oi, oo, ou, ow, oy, and ue. Examples of words with vowel teams are: law, peel, boat, loot, cue. Examples of nonsense words with vowel teams are: quain, zew, hoil.

Vowel teams can be particularly difficult to learn because they can often make multiple sounds. In our word lists, ie can make two sounds (pie vs. brief), and ow can make two sounds (cow vs. crow). We did not include the less-common sounds for certain other vowel teams (e.g., the sounds in "head," "soup," or "book"), because they are relatively rare and often learned in the context of sight words. Keep in mind when reading nonsense words with vowel teams that there could be more than one correct pronunciation!

Small group practice: Create a word list using Focus Sounds that are challenging for your small group. During small group time, students can practice reading the word list for accuracy and/or fluency.

Morning work: Display a class word list of the day, or distribute differentiated lists to students depending on their individual needs. When students arrive in the morning, their first task is to read through the word list three times to develop accuracy and fluency. Add on a choral read for further practice!

Homework: Send home a word list of the week, differentiated to meet students' needs, or adapted to the skills you are working on in the classroom. Students practice reading the word list every night.

Assessments: Track mastery of sounds or phonics patterns using phonics word lists. Print a copy for you and a copy for the student. As they read, mark errors to track progress and learn what skills or sounds to focus on next. Our word lists are also useful for progress monitoring IEP goals that call for reading or spelling words with certain phonetic patterns.

Spelling lists: Align your spelling lists with the science of reading by creating spelling lists that focus on a single phonics rule or category. Practice with that phonics rule throughout the week in the classroom to help the students master the pattern.

Independent work: Students can practice marking up the word list according to the phonics program that you're using the classroom.

Ideas for using word cards in the classroom

Sorting: Create a word list that contains two to three easily-confused sounds. (For example: e/i, ch/sh, etc.) In a small group or as a center, students sort the words by sound. They can then write the words in a T-chart and practice reading them aloud.

Fluency: Use the word cards as flash cards in whole or small group to review previously-taught sounds and help develop fluency. Alternatively, give students individualized and differentiated word card sets to practice reading individually or with a partner.

Word of the Day: Introduce a new word every day that follows a phonics pattern that you are practicing. Discuss the phonics pattern as seen in the word, the meaning of the word, and any other relevant features.

Matching game: Print two copies of the same set of word cards. Students take turns flipping over two words and reading them. If they get a match, they keep both cards and take another turn!

Go Fish: Print two or four copies of the same set of word cards to create your deck of cards. Students can play Go Fish using phonics cards instead of a regular card deck. It's a perfect way to practice, because students need to read the words over and over in order to ask for the cards they need! Click here if you need a refresher on the rules of Go Fish.

Hangman: Students play a game of hangman, but the word selected comes from a word list or word card deck that matches the phonics patterns you are practicing.

Know any great phonics games? Have a favorite center using word cards? I'd love to hear your ideas! Shoot me an email at beccatheteacher (at) gmail (dot) com

Hi! My name is Miss Becca, and I'm an elementary school teacher in New York. Over the course of my teaching career, I've taught every grade from kindergarten through fifth grade. I'm certified in both special and general education, and I've taught students from both populations. I've also taught reading intervention.

I used to spend a lot of time creating my own word lists and word cards to supplement phonics programs and reading intervention programs. Learning to read is hard, and students need a lot of practice, but it was difficult to find resources targeting exactly what I needed! I created phonicswordlist.com to make my own job in the classroom easier, and hopefully to help other teachers as well!

I hope you find this resource useful! Feel free to shoot me an email at beccatheteacher (at) gmail (dot) com with any questions or feedback!

A number of free screening tools are available to help you determine whether a child has characteristics of dyslexia. If you suspect a child has dyslexia and may need further evaluation, speak with the special education administrator at the child's school, consult with a psychologist, or reach out to your state's International Dyslexia Association branch for assistance.

SREB does not endorse any of these instruments.

For Parents

Lexercise created a free online dyslexia screener that meets the screening requirements of Mississippi. The screener is currently approved by the Mississippi Department of Education for use in schools and is designed for kindergarten and 1st grade students.

Lexercise also offers a free dyslexia screener for general audiences.

The company Dynaread offers a free online dyslexia test recommended for students ages 7-12. The results can be downloaded as a PDF.

Online Reading Tutor's free apps for Apple devices and Android devices assess a child's ability to decode (sound out) nonsense words, a key marker of dyslexia.

An easy-to-use questionnaire from LearningAlly.org can help you determine whether language and reading difficulties you've observed may be characteristics of dyslexia.

An 11- to 32-item questionnaire from Reading Horizons provides a measure of risk based on a person's characteristics and difficulties with reading skills. The test is suitable for an individual of any age.

Parents of Alabama children in grades 1-8 can request a free dyslexia evaluation from Alabama Scottish Rite Foundation Learning Centers.

Other Scottish Rite clinics and centers may offer free services, including tutoring, for children with dyslexia. Parents in southern states can locate a nearby center with a Scottish Rite Childhood Language Program and contact the location to ask about available services. Parents in northern states can locate a nearby Children's Dyslexia Center.
