Messages That Grab Attention: Writing For All
Mardie Burckes-Miller (and
a K.I.S.S.) Health
We need to develop K.I.S.S. (Keep it short and simple)
wellness messages in our print materials, i.e. newsletters,
parent letters, bulletin boards, pamphlets, and in
workshops or one-on-one sessions so that our participants
can understand our messages. The presentation will provide
health and physical education teachers and school
professionals with practical skills to improve
understanding through effective oral and written
communication to improve the quality of health materials.
Did you know that that nearly one-half of adults read at
the 8th grade level and below? These 90 million American
adults cannot read most health information. The average
reading level in the US is 6th-8th grade, yet some of the
health materials and websites you recommend are at the 10th
grade or higher. Participants will discuss the scope of the
literacy problem, the solution, assess readability levels
of common reading materials, review principles of creating
easy to read pamphlets, fact sheets, and letters in
health/wellness. Video vignettes will be shown and
discussed as case studies. This will be a hands-on workshop
to help you create materials for your students or parents.
