Hi All,

I hope this question is not too off topic. I am
working as an editor in a marketing department and as
part of their style some communications must be
written at a 6th grade reading level.  What they mean
by this is that they should be fairly simple.
Unfortunately they do not define what they mean by 6th
grade level.  Since I have a background in
linguistics, I volunteeered to try to come up with
some substantive guidelines for what is a 6th grade
reading level.   Can anyone point me to relevant
references that address issues of reading difficulty
or levels or even make some suggestions about what
guidelines I can reccomend?
