In this study, we shift the focus from L2 learners to adult native speakers with low literacy by exploring the new iRead4Skills dataset in European Portuguese. Furthermore, instead of relying on classical machine learning approaches or fine-tuning a pre-trained language model, we leverage the capabilities of prompt-based Large Language Models (LLMs), with a special focus on few-shot prompting approaches. We explore prompts with varying degrees of information, as well as different example selection approaches. Overall, the results of our experiments reveal that even a single example significantly increases the performance of the model and that few-shot approaches generalize better than fine-tuned models. However, automatic complexity assessment is a difficult and highly subjective task that is still far from solved. ER -
