Using readability tools like the WebFX Readability Test Tool and Readability Analyzer, though not widely used in Pakistan, can greatly help in choosing texts that match your students reading levels. This makes learning more effective and enjoyable. Your method of comparing the scores is a smart way to select the best materials for your students here, and encouraging the use of these tools in Pakistan could benefit language education.
