Is 70 a good readability score?

The Flesch Reading Ease gives a text a score between 1 and 100, with 100 being the highest readability score. Scoring between 70 to 80 is equivalent to school grade level 8. This means text should be fairly easy for the average adult to read. The formula was developed in the 1940s by Rudolf Flesch.

How is readability score measured?
