 Option 1: Use PowerPoint’s built-in shapes and icons

1. Open your PowerPoint file.

2. Go to the Insert tab.

3. Choose either:

   • Icons (look for books, people, speech bubbles, check marks, etc.)

   • Shapes (like circles, squares, arrows).

4. Place the icon or shape near your text.

   • Example: a ✅ tick for “Tip”

   • A 👤 person for “Who uses Easy Read?”

   • A 📖 book for “What makes writing easy to read?”

5. Use colours to make them stand out (blue, green, yellow).

🔹 Option 2: Add free Easy Read–style icons

There are free websites with simple, clear icons you can copy into your slides:

• The Noun Project (lots of symbols, free with credit).

• Flaticon (great for free basic icons).

👉 Search for things like book, speech bubble, person, community, tick, pencil, eyes — these work really well for Easy Read slides.

🔹 Example Layout

• Title: “👩‍🦽 Who uses Easy Read?”

• Add a person icon next to the title.

• Bullet points with simple text.

• At the side, add a circle shape with a bright colour (symbol marker).

✨ Tip: Keep icons and images big and simple — not too detailed, and not too childish.
