What is Easy Read?

A format built to be understood, not just read.

Easy Read combines short, plain sentences with a supporting picture, so information is easier to follow, remember and use.

1

One idea at a time

Each sentence focuses on one clear point, so important information is easier to understand.

2

A picture supports the words

Every image has a purpose and sits beside the information it helps explain.

3

Plain, everyday language

Complex wording, jargon and unnecessary detail are replaced with clearer language.

4

Designed for clarity

Large text, generous spacing and simple layouts make information easier to scan and follow.
