About The Easy Read Toolbox
What is Easy Read?
Easy Read is not just about the words you use. Every feature adds to understanding and accessibility, including the images, layout, formatting and white space, definitions for jargon and complex terms and more.
Easy English is another form of writing that is specifically for people with intellectual disabilities. It is even simpler than Easy Read. Many of our tools are suitable to write Easy English.
Over 40% of Australians read at a primary school level or below. Are you confident that your audience fully understands your message when you communicate?
Poor communication can result in reduced productivity, lost sales and strained relationships between you and your clients.
