Hemingway for Readability

The American newspaper with the widest print circulation is USA Today. Its writing is considered to be geared towards an eighth grade reading level for a crucial reason. As reading complexity increases, comprehension – and readership levels – drop off dramatically.
Copy-Fast has six industry recognised readability tests built in to assess your writing and provide a guide to its complexity and reading level.
