The average reading age of adults in the UK in 9 to 11 years old. The information we write often has a higher reading age than this. This tool helps you write in a simple and clear way for the average UK reading age.
How to use this tool
Copy and paste text that you have written into the tool and make edits. Or start writing something new directly in the tool.
Use the options on the right hand side to find out the reading age of your text. Also find out what might make your writing hard to read. Edit your text and see the reading age change.
Once you’ve finished, copy and paste your text from the tool into a word document, email etc.
Please note: the tool does not check for spelling and grammar mistakes. You will need to use another programme to check for these.
