Making your LMS text readable may sound like an easy task–just make the language simple and to-the-point, right? But it’s not quite as easy as you may think. It requires method, training, and practice. But is it really an important and effective aspect of LMS design?

Suffice it to say that best-selling novelists like Stephen King, John Grisham, J.K. Rowling, and Dan Brown all write at the 7th-grade level. Newspapers too. Moreover, experts recommend writing at the 7th-grade level for all information related to law and health, and some laws require medical and safety information to be written at the 5th-grade level. Readability is a subject worth diving into for anyone wanting to create the most concise and effective LMS possible.
