Readability

I chose to do a readability calculation on the Tennessee Bridge Math book since that is the book that I kind of, sort of, use in class. I was a bit shocked to see the average readability of the three passages  I chose was only a 6.4. It makes a bit of sense considering the course is a remedial course, but still 6 is a bit low. The first two passages I quoted were only a 5 while the third was a 7.6. I am very curious to see just exactly how readability is calculated. I used the Flesch Method for calculating it by copy and pasting text into Microsoft Word. I would also like to see if the different methods calculate readability differently.
