Poor writing is death to any grant proposal: If a grant maker can't grasp what you're trying to say, the odds are good your proposal won't succeed. There was a lot of buzz recently in one of my LinkedIn groups about using readability measures to improve the readability of grant proposals. There are two readability measurements built into Microsoft Word to help make documents more readable:
Flesch Reading
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Test. This test scores texts based on orioles #32 black jersey U.S. school grade levels. If you score a 9, it means a ninth-grader would understand it.
My primary objection to orioles #32 black jersey these tests is that they only indicate whether a text is suitable for a specific reading level. Readability tests can't tell you
whether or not the content is in a logical order;
how complex the ideas are; or
whether the information is presented in a way that interests the reader.
