What is an Easy Read?
Easy read is a way of sharing information.
It uses easy words and short sentences to explain things.
Easy Read uses pictures to help people understand the information.
And uses big text to make it easier to read.
You can make things that are hard to understand into easy read.
Things like:
- Reports
- Forms
- Instructions
- Letters
- Agendas
If you have to use a hard word, you should explain what it means.
For example, an agenda is a list of things to talk about at a meeting.
Using Easy Read is a good way to help people:
- Make choices
- Ask for help
- Be more independent
- Know their
rights
Rights are the things everyone should be allowed to do like have a say, or go to school.
- Understand questions they need to answer
- When you make easy read information, it is good to work with people with a
Learning disability
A learning disability is to do with the way someone's brain works. It makes it harder for someone to learn, understand or do things.
