I’m all for upping the reading level, but you also don’t want to lose your readers either. It’s great to challenge people to learn new words, but you don’t want to lose all your readers because they won’t be able to fully understand the article. Just a thought to throw out there - you may just want to take a stab at the first one and get feedback to see what everyone thought 🙂
