Easy way to make writing easy read.

 What is Easy Read?

Easy Read is a way of writing that makes information simple to understand. It helps people who may have difficulty reading, learning, or understanding complex words. Easy Read uses:

• Simple words – no jargon, technical terms, contractions, or abbreviations.

• Short sentences – usually 10–15 words, with only one idea per sentence.

• Active voice – sentences are clear and direct.

• Visual aids – pictures, photos, or drawings to explain the meaning.

• Clear formatting – large, simple fonts (like Arial), plenty of space, and left-aligned text.

• Positive language – using encouraging and friendly words where possible.

• Clear structure – headings, subheadings, and images placed to help understanding.

Who benefits from Easy Read?

• People with learning disabilities or developmental disabilities.

• People who are not fluent in the language of the text.

• Older adults with memory or vision challenges.

• Anyone who needs information quickly, clearly, or when feeling stressed.
