I did a readability check of our current documentation as part of the accessibility audit.
As a general guideline, most text should aim for approximately an 8th grade reading level or lower. If that is not possible (e.g. highly technical or academic texts), provide a TL;DR in plain English that is an 8th grade reading level or lower.
The following pages need improvement with regards to readability:
| Page |
Grade Level |
Flesch Reading Ease |
Gunning Fog Index |
| Repository Map |
9th grade |
54 (fairly difficult to read) |
11.7 (hard to read) |
| Code of Conduct (foreword only) |
College |
37.6 (difficult to read) |
16.2 (difficult to read) |
| Running Yacs (for development) |
9th grade |
59.8 (standard/average) |
11.6 (hard to read) |
All other pages so far are at an 8th grade level or below!
