How to Improve Readability

  • Shorten sentences: Aim for 15-20 words per sentence
  • Use simpler words: Replace complex vocabulary with everyday terms
  • Break up paragraphs: Keep paragraphs to 3-4 sentences
  • Use active voice: "We analyzed the data" vs "The data was analyzed"
  • Add transitions: Use connecting words to improve flow

Understanding the Scores

Lower grade levels (5-8): Easy to read for most audiences, suitable for general content

Medium grade levels (9-12): Standard readability for educated readers

Higher grade levels (13+): Academic or technical content for specialized audiences

Different formulas may give different results. Use the average grade level for a balanced assessment.
