What are the principles of readability?

When possible, put the agent (subject) and action (verb) close together in the sentence. Keep modifiers and the words they modify close together in the sentence. Whenever possible, put people in the subject position in the sentence. Put old information first in a sentence, new information last.

What are the characteristics of readability?

Readability refers to how easy a written text is to read. Generally, readability can be broken down into two factors: how well the text is laid out visually, and how easily the words and sentences can be understood. Good writing should be highly readable in order to be clearly understood by a wide audience.

What is the purpose of readability?

Readability is important because it influences how clearly a text can be understood by the reader. By analysing the readability of a text, we can make that text as clear as possible and better match it with its audience.

What defines readability?

Readability is all about how easy or difficult it is to read something. Readability depends on a text's presentation (such as font choice, spacing or colors) and context (the words and sentences on the page).
