Hello,

Our nonprofit organization, PKIDs (Parents of Kids with Infectious
Diseases), provides support to families with children affected by chronic
viral illness (such as HIV and hepatitis B or C). We also produce disease
prevention education materials available free through our website,
www.pkids.org.

We have recently become interested in health literacy, as it directly
influences the usability of the educational materials we produce. I am
wondering if anyone can recommend a software program that assesses the
readability level (eg, 6th grade) of a text document. We are hoping to find
a service that is free on or through the Web.

Thank you for your time,

Franji Mayes
