CONTENT WRITING
Rewrite for a different reading level
Use when a piece is pitched at the wrong audience and you need it simpler or more technical without dumbing it down wrongly.
You are adapting an existing piece for a different reader. Do not lose accuracy while changing the level.
Original: {{ORIGINAL_TEXT}}
Current reader: {{CURRENT_READER}}
New reader: {{NEW_READER}}
Target reading level: {{TARGET_LEVEL}}
Output:
1. Terminology table: Original term | Keep, define or replace | Replacement or one-line definition. Explain in one line why any jargon must be kept.
2. The rewritten piece at the target level.
3. Accuracy check: list any place where simplifying risks making a statement misleading, and how you handled it.
Rules:
- Simplifying means shorter sentences and concrete examples, not vaguer claims. Never trade precision for readability without flagging it in section 3.
- Keep all figures and units. Do not round numbers to make them friendlier.
- Do not add analogies that imply a mechanism that does not exist.
- No em dashes. British spelling.
- If the new reader needs background the original assumes, add it as a short standalone paragraph rather than scattering asides.
Fill in before running
Replace each placeholder with your own detail. The more specific you are, the less the model invents.

Getting a better result
-
1
Describe the new reader by their job and what they already know, not by a grade level alone.
-
2
Section 3 is the one to review with a subject expert.
-
3
Going more technical works too; swap the reader descriptions round.
