Updated how the app scores average readability.
SPACHE score is ignored if text scores an average readability score (ARS) of 5th grade and above. (SPACHE is validated to score 4th grade and lower only)
FORCAST score is ignored if text scores below an average readability score (ARS) of below 7th grade. FORCAST is validated on texts above 7th grade.
What users will see if triggered:
** SPACHE is validated to score texts below a readability score (ARS) of 5th grade. A higher ARS score may be inaccurate for harder texts. We did not include SPACHE in the average.
** FORCAST is validated to score texts above an average readability score (ARS) of 6th grade. A lower ARS score may be inaccurate for easier texts. We did not include FORCAST in the average.
