Resource submitted by Jessica O’Reilly

Readability Formulas is a free site that lets you quickly check the reading level of any text using a variety of well known readability tools. It is helpful for faculty who want to see whether assignment instructions, online modules, or course readings are written at an accessible level for students. You can paste in your text and get an immediate sense of clarity, complexity, and where small revisions might support student comprehension.
