Easy read is a way of sharing information so it is easy to understand

It uses

easy words and
short sentences and
pictures
to explain things.

And uses

plain
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

Meeting minutes

If you have to use a hard word, you should explain what it means.

example: meeting minutes is a list of things that were spoken about at the last meeting.

Using Easy Read is a good way to help people:

Make choices

Ask for help

Be more independent

Know your rights

Understand questions they need to answer

When you make easy read information, it is good to work with people with a learning disability.
