Play in our
Readability Features Sandbox
Software developers often create a test environment, called a sandbox, with elements for users to try before the code is built, tested, and deployed.
Choose your Sandbox Content:
Alice in Wonderland
World Education’s The Change Agent
Grade 1-2: The Great Acorn Hunt
Grade 3: Bella and the Runaway Balloon
Grade 5: The Day a Robot Cleaned My Room
Grade 8: The Secret World of Espionage and Spies
Play in the Sandbox to explore the impact of having access to the features that allow you to change your base font, character spacing or character width, and more.
Improve your own reading experiences. Ask your digital content providers to add these Readability Features so that you can customize or “tune” your text.
In addition to the original Readability Matters Sandbox which demonstrates Readability Features using Alice in Wonderland, Readability Matters is pleased to feature reading material at different reading levels and a fun article from WorldEd’s The Change Agent, a magazine published for adult education.
“You wrecked it for me. Ever since I tried personalized formats, I don’t want to go back [to a publisher selected format].”
