Easy Read Information
What is easy read?
Easy Read gives people with learning disabilities access to the same information as everybody else.
Easy Read is an alternative format. Most documents contain words and phrases that some people find hard to understand. Documents are re-written using simple language and specially commissioned clipart images/photographs to make them more accessible and easier to understand.
What is involved?
Précis - Précis of long documents, concentrating on the main issues
Context - Putting text into context of other documents or developments if required.
Shortening sentences - The simplifying of text to ensure sentences are no more than 15-20 words long.
Large Print - Formatting text so it is clear and easy to read. Increasing font size and using Dark fonts.
Describing complex words - Complex words or phrases are described immediately after they appear in the text.
Removal of abbreviations - All abbreviations are written in full.
Inclusion of Clipart/Photographs - Specially commissioned clipart/photographs are used to help in the delivery of the meaning. Images are placed next to the text to compliment sentences.
Consulation with people with learning disabilities.
All Easy Read documents are produced with consultation with people with learning disabilities making sure the right words and picture combinations are used.
The end result is a clear and understandable document open to all.
