The National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center (OHRC) is
pleased to announce the availability of A Way with Words: Guidelines for
Writing Oral Health Materials for Audiences with Limited Literacy. This
resource was developed to assist professionals working to improve the
oral health of infants, children, adolescents, and their families.

A Way with Words provides tips to help those who produce educational
materials make them easy for everyone to understand, and thus more
useful. The tip sheet offers suggestions for how to choose words; set an
appropriate tone; and craft sentences, paragraphs, lists, and headings
that communicate most effectively with people with limited literacy. 
Ideas for how to design documents and how to present unfamiliar
terminology are also presented. A list of resources for more information
is included.

Single or multiple print copies of this resource are available at no
charge from the HRSA Information Center, P.O. Box 2910, Merrifield, VA
22116, phone: (888) ASK-HRSA (275-4772), fax: (703) 821-2098, e-mail:
ask at hrsa.gov. Electronic copies are available from OHRC's Web site at
http://www.mchoralhealth.org/materials.
