How Do You Interpret Readability Statistics

Under the Readability section, you’ll see a numerical score. The higher the number, the easier it is to read your document. In most cases, you should aim for a score of 60 or higher. With a score of 60, your document will be easy to read for most people with at least an eighth-grade education.
