That's actually being far too generous to Bell. A typical broadsheet newspaper (like the New York Times, Toronto Star, Globe & Mail, National Post, etc.) is purposely written at an 8th grade reading level. Tabloids like the Sun are written at a 6th grade level. I haven't seen an analysis of Rick Bell's writing, but with his penchant for single-sentence paragraphs, his is almost certainly lower than even the rest of his publication's.
