This may be a long work around, But Word Perfect has an option called
grammaticheck, which you can set to provide you with the information you
need. having content in wp and running this option before posting to the
site is one way to assure a specific reading level.
The same options are available in MS Word.
As for a html version, I haven't seen one.

This is my first post. Hello, hello.
I was wondering if any of you have ever had to ensure that your site was at
a certain reading level? I am trying to get my website at a 6th-grade
reading level (!) and am finding it impossible to locate any tools to test
this. I am looking for a tool that will not only tell me the level at which
I am writing, but also point out the problem words/sentences/areas. I have
been told that a program like this would be difficult to develop because
readability is determined mathematically.
Does anyone have any help they can give me?
