Maybe you’ve found a Storymap and aren’t quite sure if your (school) students would find the reading level too challenging.  Maybe you’re trying to create a Storymap for your third grades to use as an enrichment and you need to confirm your writing is on level.  StoryMaps.png

Enter a new experimental tool that provides Storymap readability data in several different readability scoring frameworks, including Flesch-Kincaid grade level, Lexile estimated, Developmental Reading Assessment estimated, and Fountas & Pinnell.

Just grab the Storymap id – that long list of letters and numbers in the Storymap’s URL and paste in the form.

A few requirements:

  1. The Storymap should be in the new (2020+) Storymap template.
  2. The Storymap must be public.
  3. You must have the Storymap id

Note that many of the scores produced are estimates.  You’ll want to consult official scoring tools for specific reading frameworks if you need a robust score.
