The Readability Test Tool

The Readability Test Tool is a handy little Bookmarklet that can be led to your bookmarks toolbar. It indicates the youngest age group that would find a webpage easy to read, along with:

• Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease
• Flesch Kincaid Grade Level
• Gunning Fog Score
• Coleman Liau Index
• Automated Readability Index (ARI)

It is also possible to cut & paste text onto the page to test the readability.

Integration:

• Use when planning to test the accessibility for learners, especially for those with reading-related special educational needs
• Writers could use the tool to check the suitability of their writing, particularly when writing for younger audiences
