Thou shalt not forget SPACING

Recently I was talking to a workmate who has dyslexia.  Any tips for other people I asked?  “Hmmm,” she said, “I don’t really know. I guess, for me, I won’t read a book unless the writing looks nice.” 

And there it is.  An uber-simple strategy for every document, every note, every message  of  hope or doom, bottled or otherwise.

To make writing accessible, use:

·      A clear font.

·      Lots of spaces.

·      Bullet points.

·      Diagrams.

·      Cheerful cartoons and the like.

Easy! -But well-worth reminded ourselves.
