I tried to find low-level reading research while looking into the Federal
Government's Section 508 requirements. I was unable to find anything at that
time. I have not looked into it since then (2001-02) but here are some
reference sites that may help:

Jakob Nielson's Web usability columns on http://www.usit.com
Usable Web at http://usableweb.com/ has a list of links to sites with HCI
(Human Computer Interaction) and Web Usability information.
For technical info, but also Accessibility information, the World Wide Web
Consortium http://www.w3.org/ is a great source. 

David, you've piqued my interest. I'll also scout around in my spare time to
see if there is any research out there and report to the list later.

Subject: [NIFL-TECHNOLOGY:2754] Question: Research on Website design for
low-level readers


NIFL-Technology colleagues,

Do you know of any research on website design for adults with low or 
intermediate level reading skills?  A colleague has recently asked me 
this and I realize that I don't.

Thanks,

David
