Written Materials for Farm Workers:
- Use workers' primary language. If that language is Spanish, be sure to use the
version your workers use (Central American, Mexican, Puerto Rican). If workers
are from different backgrounds, avoid colloquialisms to make the leaflet
understandable to all. It's worth the trouble to have the materials translated by
someone who is a native speaker of the language.
- Shoot for a fifth-grade reading level.
- Use plenty of illustrations. A picture is worth a thousand words.
- Show and tell not just the wrong way of doing work, but also the right way.
- Get the thinking and input of farm workers themselves. This will produce a
result that workers will actually use.
