Readability Of Online Hearing-Based Early Intervention Materials, Torri Ann Woodruff, Kathleen Cienkowski
Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention
Purpose: A quantitative readability assessment of currently accessible online materials for parents of children who are D/deaf and hard of hearing.
Design: Consistent with current recommendations discussing “grade-level” of materials, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) analysis, along with five other related measures, was conducted for each website. These analyses provide a readability score for each of the websites analyzed.

Results: Sixty-three websites were included in the analysis. Following article modification, inter- and intra-rater reliability were excellent …
