#Quick Test: Check Comprehension Level#

Cognitive disabilities affect more than 6% of the population. People with cognitive disabilites often struggle with reading text on the internet. When writing content, it is important to identify your target audience and write accordingly. If you don't know who your target audience is, target your content a reader between the ages of 12 and 15 years old.

Here are some tools to test your content:

1. Read-able.com
2. Microsoft Office

If your content content isn't hitting the target audience, take some time and rewrite it.

GREAT! Very excited about this.

• Shorter title? "Quick Test: Check Comprehension Level"
• Maybe a tie-in that this relates to cognitive impairments?
• I found Read-able.com to be the most useful in terms of deciphering results. Maybe list that one first? Maybe don't list Online-utility.org since it replicates read-able.com?

Points taken! Made a few of the tweaks including dropping Online-utility.org.

👍👍

Another edit. Some of it was verbose, high talking and redundant. I cleaned it up and removed the redundancy.

Cool! I liked the "7th-8th grade reading level" bit, I understood that better than "12-15 y.o." range I think. Whether or not you add that back in, I see no reason why this article couldn't ship.

I like the grade level too, but I saw Laura Kalberg tweeting that an a11y book she is reading was very US centric. I realized the age target was not necessarily the same grade/school year target worldwide. Using just age helps to internationalize the recommendation.
