This page covers how writing for the Tech Fleet Brand should adhere to reading level requirements for full accessibility.
Always aim for a 7th grade reading level.
We want our writing to be easy for everyone to understand.
This makes our content accessible to people from different backgrounds, those who speak English as a second language, and people with cognitive or learning differences.
If you are not sure what grade level your writing is, use the Hemingway Editor. Paste your text into the app, and it will tell you the reading level. It will also highlight sentences that are too hard to read. Rewrite those sentences until the reading level drops to grade 7 or below.
