For anybody else struggling to push their Flesch Reading Ease score above 50%, here are my tips for writing in clear, plain English:
1. Aim for an average sentence length of 15-20 words
2. Vary between long and short sentences to help the flow and make your points punchy
3. Assign one idea per sentence, and add another point if it’s closely related
4. Write in the active voice to keep your sentences lively
5. Remember that you’re writing for the reader, rather than yourself. Whilst a thesaurus might be useful for sprucing up school essays, clear writing shouldn’t include words simply to sound impressive
6. Don’t use long words when a short one will do
7. Avoid slang unless you’re trying to get down with the kids, in which case you’re trying too hard already
