Press Release Body = You think you are writing a masterpiece, but your readers think
otherwise. Your masterpiece is no masterpiece at all; it is a slushpile of difficult
words, sentences and phrases. Your readers feel alienated, confused and bored. Your
masterpiece suddenly becomes a discarded piece of trash. Had you known the reading
level of your masterpiece ahead of time, you could have rewritten your masterpiece
for the right audience.

If you want to write clearly and ensure your readers can understand what you write,
you need to find out the reading level of your materials as part of your writing
process, not after you distribute your materials, according to Brian Konradt,
founder of LiteracyNews.com.

Mr. Konradt has created a free Readability Analysis program that analyzes text and
gives the reading and grade level of the text. The free program is available at
http://literacynews.com/readability/readability_analyses.php

"Knowing the reading level of your materials ahead of time helps you to determine if
you are writing for the proper grade level of your readers," according to Konradt.
"Our program will help you to determine if you are using too many difficult words,
or too many long sentences, or words with too many syllables. Then you can edit,
trim and substitute your words, phrases and sentences into something your readers
can understand easily."

LiteracyNews.com's Readability Analysis uses three popular readability formulas to
determine the reading level of materials; they include Flesch Reading Ease, Fog
Scale Level, and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level. All three programs calculate the number
of sentences, words, syllables, and characters and use a mathematical formula to
determine a grade level.

Mr. Konradt launched LiteracyNews.com ( http://www.literacynews.com ) in 2006 to
empower and inspire literacy leaders and literacy educators to strive harder in
helping people improve their literacy skills. Mr. Konradt is also founder of
LousyWriter.com ( http://www.lousywriter.com ), a free web resource that teaches
writers and non-writers the mechanics of good writing.
