| Abstract | Educational materials are often a key component of recovery in a mutual-help group. However, in order to be helpful to a maximum number of members, these materials must be presented at a reading level that is comprehensible. Two measures of readability, The Flesch Reading Ease score and the Flesch-Kincaid Grade-Level score were applied to 20 random paragraphs chosen from The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous. Results indicate that the average paragraph is written just below the tenth grade level and close to an optimum level of reading ease. However, due to variability, almost half (45%) of the paragraphs fell in the category of Difficult Reading Ease and half were found to be at a tenth grade reading level or beyond. In order to maximize the utility of this educational text, it is recommended that future editions take into consideration principles of readability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
