Solution

Content should match your target audience’s reading level. For general audiences, aim for 6th-8th grade level (60-70 Flesch score). Use shorter sentences and simpler words. Break up long paragraphs. Use bullet points and headings. Technical content may have lower readability scores, which is acceptable for expert audiences.
